 Great toy for baby |
| We bought this toy for our baby when she was about 4 months old. Initially she would just lie on the floor and bat at it to make the fish "swim" and the music go on. As she got to be about 5 months old, she would start rolling over on the floor to try and grab one of the balls. Now that she is learning how to sit up at 6 months, we prop this in front of her and she loves to try and grab the balls and looks inside the fishbowl. It's a great toy for a beginner at sitting because she would almost use the bowl to balance herself at first. Although the recommended age was 6mo +, I think this is a wonderful toy for a 4 month old and up as he/she is learning new skills and developing. Plus the fish, lights and music are just pleasant and fun for any age. |
 Makes Me Want to Dance :) |
| This toy was great when dd was learning how to control her hands. The whole that you drop the balls into was large enough that she didn't have troubles "missing". The balls where just the right size for little hands to hold on to. It is extremely durable - dd dropped the entire fish bowl several times and the balls have been dropped, kicked, stepped on and who knows what else - they all still work just like the day we opened the box. Even though dd is now 20 months old she ocassionally still pulls this toy out to hear the fun music and see what other treasures she can insert into the bowl. Also, we like the volume feature. She didn't seem to pay much attention to the "floating/spinning" items inside the translucent balls. Also we would bring this along to grandma & grandpa's house frequently - and since they have a dog, we found it difficult to easily get all the dog hair out of the fishbowl. And finally we wish that it played a few more toons. The one song it does play is definitely upbeat and doesn't seem to get annoying as quickly as a lot of the toys out there. A great toy to have! |
| One of our baby's favorite toys |
| Ever since our son was 2 months old, he likes looking and listening to the fishbowl. Now at 6 months, whenever he is near it, his eyes are glued to its direction. He loves grabbing for it and watching the lights and movement. You have to move the bowl three times in order for the music to start. The first two times, it makes a bubbling sound and the lights turn on. My husband and son now have a routine: Our son moves it and watches the fishes move and the lights flutter. On the third time when the music starts, my husband dances around the nursery with our son in his arms - It's really cute and always makes our son smile! I can't imagine him being bored anytime soon with this toy. He has yet to discover the flutterballs inside. Highly recommended! |
