Great easily directed light and terrific fidget toy.  I used these as stocking stuffers.  They now live on each of my boys' desk.

My daughter is 15 months and really enjoys this toy. She loves putting it in and out of the bucket. The light up brush is really nice, with a soft glow and tons of colors- she likes when it plays a song and does a little light show, flashing all the colors. The purple, orange, and blue are her favorites. The volume isn't too high, and the songs aren't annoying to parents. I like to dim the lights a little and then she REALLY enjoys the light up paintbrush. I can see her playing with this for a long time. She has already started "painting" the couch, the floor, and even the dogs! Lightweight and easy to throw in the diaper bag for a play date or visit to grandma's.

Wow! This thing is like a disco or rave for babies. It's so fun and stimulating the way it lights up in different colors, patterns, and pulsates. The lights are built right into the mat and show through the fabric so it's completely smooth except for the control panel and character in the middle. The mat is flexible and soft to sit on so it welcomes your baby to play. The friendly BeatBo character in the middle also draws them in. He's so happy and gives them a way to interact before they get the hang of the buttons. It creates a really happy, upbeat, and friendly experience interacting with BeatBo. The mat has enough sounds, song styles, and light up patterns to keep them busy and encourages physical activity too like reaching, bopping around, crawling, and dancing. It came with batteries pre-installed so it's ready to go for eager babies. The replacements for it are 4 AA batteries.

I purchased this toy for my 1yr old's birthday.  She's played with it for about 2 months now.  It captured her attention right away, and has many different sounds and activities to keep her attention.  It has two modes, that each offer completely different responses to actions and buttons pressed.

I really like how easy it was for her to perform the actions - For example:
-There is a set of birds on the top, a little bid and a big bird.  It is very easy for a baby to press them, and when you press the little bird it says in a high pitched children's voice "Little bird in", then when you press the larger bird down he says in a deep voice "Big bird in" then the little bird says "Little bird out". If you press them again, the responses change three times.
-There is a light switch that is easy for her to flip up and down, and the when the light switch is flipped up, it says "light on" and the light illuminates the window and a little book on the side.  When she flips it down, it says "light off".  Then if you don't press anything else, it will say "Can you please turn the light back ON?".

All of the buttons are big enough for her to press, and it has so many actions to teach her, from flipping a light switch or opening a door, to sliding the window open or close.  It teaches opposites- up/down, in/out, off/on, open/close, daytime/nighttime and has fun actions for her to do to learn them.

The modes also teach things like when you rotate the faucet handle, it says "Be sure to brush your teeth before bedtime".  Or when you press the door bell it says "Someone has come over for dinner".

A couple other pros- it will make a few noises or play music to entice your youngster to keep playing with it- but only for a few minutes.  It does not keep making sounds when your not playing with it like many other toys do. Its lightweight and she can carry it herself, or drag it around if shes crawling.

No Cons that I have encountered for this toy yet... She has not figured out how to perform all of the actions yet so I am glad she'll be able to grow into it and the fun will keep going as she learns.

Definitely recommend this one!

This is a great toy for kids and I love the fact that it mounts to the wall with command strips. If you are not familiar with command strips, they are small, sticky bits that mount hooks or other things to walls. They hold securely and when you're finished with them, they can be released easily and leave no mess behind. I'm sure they must be reviewed elsewhere on this site. The wall mount is a great idea for keeping kids' rooms clutter-free.

This toy comes with complete instructions and you will need them as there are a bazillion light plastic pieces to be snapped together. All this assembly is the reason I gave this toy 4 stars instead of 5.

The mall play set includes a Ferris wheel, ice cream shop, two stores, an escalator, an elevator, a slide and a swing. One Polly Pocket doll is included. There are also a number of tiny, plastic accessories that will most likely end up lost. But until then, a storage compartment is included under the play set.

I'm sure my daughter will enjoy this toy for a long time and it will totally be worth the hassle of assembling it. Connecting, wall mounted sets are available, too.

My daughter is only 5 months old, but is already able to stand up while holding onto this musical table. She loves hitting all the buttons to make the different noises. She's discovered every button, twist and turn on it already and we've only had it for a little over a week. The flashing lights really catch her attention. She's too young to ready grasp the educational aspect of this toy, but hopefully as she gets older she will. You can take the legs off and set it on the ground so your child can sit at it and play, or for babies with real strong necks, a little tummy time (just be careful they don't slam their head into it). I'm very happy I got this toy, it's already provided hours of fun for my little one!

Overall, this is a fine activity table for your 1 year old, or any child just learning to stand and walk.  My 8 month old niece was mesmerized by the lights, sounds, and moving parts, and endlessly tried to fit the included 3 plastic balls in her mouth.  For those parents concerned about another loud toy in their house, this unit comes with 2 different volume levels and an off switch hidden on the bottom of the table.  The legs are easy to attach to the table, but extremely difficult to get off, so this is not something youll want to do often, but a great option for storability in between children.  My only real concern is that the table slides around on carpet and hard floors way too easily.  For any child using this table to lean up against or to help stand up, be careful that the table doesnt slide away from them causing them to fall.

fantastic.  easy movement and the solid coloring in the plastic makes for a nice looking toy, no worn out stickers!  Easy to disassemble to reset and reassemble.  my 8-year old and my 5-year old love it

This gift was a massive hit with my niece and my whole family thought it was awesome. If you know someone who likes music and dancing, they will probably love this laser light show.
It has four lasers; red, green, blue, and violet. It also has a blue led that is very bright and basically is there to create a flash effect. The sound activated feature works great and is very fun. There is a small but handy remote to control the show you are putting on and every effect can be independently operated. It turns on instantly and seems durable. Small and light, you could take it to a friend's house easily.
There are several ways to enjoy the show. You can shine it down onto the floor or wall (the bigger and whiter the better) and watch the patterns it makes or you can stand in front of the unit and watch the lasers streaming at you. You will need a smoke machine for this ($35) and the effect fails to impress no one.
I tested this baby out before I gave it as a gift and have to say, I miss it. If they made one that was more advanced with more lasers and patterns I would pony up for it but as it stands it is already sweet and I'm solidly in the running for the title of coolest uncle ever.

I bought this for my daughter at 8 months and she LOVED it! I've never seen her so excited to see a toy. At first she used it to help stand and she loved the lights. Now at 13-14 months she loves the activities that help with her hand eye coordination. I am not good at putting stuff together but I was able to do it alone in about 3 hours with not the best tools lol. It was worth seeing the look on her face.

This LED device creates quite the light show.  It has 16 RGB LEDs on each side, so the patterns show from both sides of the wheel.  It is really cool watching the 32 patterns play out in the dark.  Install this on your bike, and you will draw lots of attention.

This lighting device has a non-replaceable rechargeable battery.  If you use an external battery pack, you can install this on your bike one time, then bring the power to it.  It does have an on/off switch.  If you don't have an external battery pack, you will need to remove the light from the bike spokes and take it to an outlet where you can charge it.  It is not really hard to do, but the plastic "screws" don't have heads that accept a screwdriver--they are flat heads.  You have to be able to grab those two flat heads someway in order to unscrew the backs.  Not that hard--unless you have large fingers, small fingers, or not-so-nimble fingers.  Then it becomes hard.

It does not have a mode button.  So you will not be able to stop the effect on your favorite pattern.  It will always cycle through the 32 patterns.

We've been using this light and another one from Wiitek on our bikes which we ride at the State Park where we keep our motor coach.  it is a very energetic, boisterous and happy bunch of campers and children where we hang out.  Everyone wants to know where we got these.  Amazon!! we tell them.  Lots, lots of fun!

We don't ride the bikes over a lot of bumps or rough areas, so the light has been holding up fine.  I'm a little concerned about the hard plastic getting brittle over time.  I expect it to last a year--it does look well-made and tight.

*I received a free sample product from Wiitek for evaluation/review.

Great toy, my 5 yo loves it. She creates different patterns. It lights up and is more 'girly' than the other style I bought for my 2 yo. Good for hand eye coordination.

This is awesome! My son loves it already! The lights and sound make it so much more interactive.

My boys enjoyed receiving this toy in their stockings last Christmas.  It's fun, really lights up...of course, it's a one trick wonder, obviously, so it loses their attention after a short time, but it's a toy they enjoy finding over and over again in the toy box.  It's held up very well to lots of use and rough play.  I would not recommend it for small children for several reasons.  The start/stop function take some fine motor skills that my 3 year old didn't quite have when he first received the toy, but now that he's closer to 4, he can operate it pretty easily.  Also, it has a metal point that it rotates (very quickly) on and it can scratch up surfaces if thrown or pushed around while it's spinning.  Also want to keep it away from hands and hair when it's spinning (seems obvious, but you'd be amazed how many kids I see at play dates dig it out and try to spin it on their hands or head).

Great for kids- helps with fine motor skills and entertaining!

My daughter  played with this at a friend's house and had so much fun with it that we had to get one.  At 8 months she likes to push, slide, flip, pull, and spin all of the controls.  We like that it teaches colors, shapes, counting, the alphabet, and opposites and she loves the music mode. I will say that until your child can stand unsupported you will need to supervise play as the table can slide away from or be pulled on top of a pre-toddler. Overall we like this activity toy very much. It takes up only a small footprint and the voice and music are not unpleasant. It has enough activities to keep our super busy little on occupied longer than any other toy we've seen.
