Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Where do I even begin...this toy is a MUST HAVE. Yes, the songs and voices are annoying and you will find yourself singing the songs in your sleep but it is worth it. My 6 month old is obsessed with this toy. It is one of the few toys I can set her on the floor with and do housework without her getting bored and angry. The top side has 4 buttons (circle, triangle, star, square) each with an animal picture in them (circle-bird, triangle-cow, square-cat, star-dog). They have animal sounds, sing songs, play musical tunes, count to 3, play games, etc. My baby hits the buttons over and over again and loves the sound and lights. There is also a spinning cylinder on the top that rattles. There is a side with spinning letter blocks (A,B,C,D) and another side with spinning shapes. There is a side with musical instruments (shakers, drum, symbol) and a side with a spinning ladybug. The bottom is just blue with letters (not an exciting side). This toy, no matter how annoying, is fun for my baby and is teaching her motor skills and cause and effect. I highly recommend it UPDATE: My baby is now 16 months old and she still really enjoys playing with this toy. It has lasted a year and is still going strong. I love that it holds her attention still and is a toy that will grow with her. It has held up really well to all of the dropping, excessive button pushing, and spinning over a year of play. I still highly recommend this activity cube. ANOTHER UPDATE: My daughter is now 2.5 years old and she still plays with this toy on occasion. She still loves the songs, naming all the animals, shapes, and colors on the cube. I honestly never imagined when I bought this that it would have kept her interest for 2 years, but it has. This really was the best toy purchase I have made to date.
