This is one of the best toys she has ever received

I purchased this for my 8 year old daughter. She received it today. This is one of the best toys she has ever received! At first she was skeptical and didn't think she could do it, I read the first page or two to her and all of a sudden she said, "OH, I get it! I can read that myself now!" She wired the first LED light and then added resistors to see the difference. Then, she skipped some pages to get to something NEW to do! She played with it for 4 hours straight, until I told her she had to put it up until tomorrow. She set her clock to get up early so she'll have enough time to try out lots of stuff tomorrow! She loves it! The price is very reasonable. Most kids her age would probably need an adult to read the pages to them and explain things, depending on their reading levels. It is very easy to put the wires that are included in place for each experiment. There are springs on the circuit board, you just bend them over a little and push the end of the wire in between the coils. The coils are numbered and the instructions tell what number to connect the wires to. Even without reading they could do this, but she wanted to understand exactly what was going on. I recommend this for any child 8 and up that enjoys learning. *They don't realize they are learning*

My young daughter loves, one of her favorite toys

I bought this for a friend who just had a baby girl. Didn't realize from images it was light blue/ivory. It looks white/yellow in the description pics, and description doesn't give colors. But it's still cute so I'm not going to return it. Someone gave us a pink one when I had my little girl 6 yrs ago and she absolutely adored it. It was one of my favorite gifts for her. I would wind it up for diaper changes and she'd be riveted to it the whole time. The head rotates slowly as it plays, and she'd watch it intensely, tracking with her eyes. She also loved to cuddle it as she got older, at naptime. We'd bring it in the suitcase on trips, which helped ease travel anxiety. Its a wonderful gift that they won't outgrow for a long time. Even years later after the music box wore out and the head stopped moving, it was still a beloved toy. I highly recommend this item as a baby gift.

If I could give this product 10 stars, I would!  My daughter just loves it.  She is 2 1/2 and has a fascination lately with the buckle in her high chair and the buckle in her stroller... Her face completely lit up when I gave it to her and she has been playing with it every day (usually for a significant amount of time) since then.  I love the fact that not ALL the buckles are the same, so there is a variety of motor skills involved.  She can currently buckle all of the buckles together in record time, LOL, and then is quickly looking at me to cheer for her and wants me to undo them so she can put them back together.  We are working on her undoing the buckles, but like all motor skills, this will just take time.  The different colored straps are fun, too, because as I undo the buckles for her, we go over each of the colors.  She has learned Blue & Orange and now we are just working on the others.  The toy is high quality and  well made and would easily survive the washer should it become dirty.  We are going out of town for a lengthy car ride soon and this toy will make the cut of which toys accompany us on our trip.

The ONLY critiques I would give to the makers of this toy are:
-  Swap out the light green strap for a purple strap so that you would have the full "ROY G BIV" colors of the rainbow.  It gets a little confusing for a 2-3 year old when "I ask what color is this?" and the answer to two different looking colors is "Green"
-  Relocate the zipper on the side to underneath the mouth of the smiley face.  My daughter's initial reaction (and I assume many toddler's) when I showed her the zipper, was to put the toy on her hand like a puppet... Then she looked confused as to why his face was sideways.

Regardless of those two minor criticisms, this is a great toy that my daughter absolutely loves!

I received this toy for a discounted price in exchange for an honest review.  (Although, I would have gladly paid full price now that I now how much she loves it!)

Wish I could give this ten stars. It's the most-played-with toy we've ever given our child. Five months since Christmas and she's still playing with it nearly daily!

This toy is amazing.

1. It occupies my daughter for long enough that mom can run to the bathroom or make dinner (that ALONE should be enough - but there is more)
2. It introduces her to classical music
3. Probably most important - it can take a beating. I am constantly surprised after picking this up off the floor for the one zillionth time that it never stops playing or breaks after being thrown overhand at our tile floor

Besides all of that she loves to chew on the side beads and she can easily handle it because of the handle. Awesome toy - and definitely worth the less than $7 price tag. So so pleased I randomly purchased this!

This is such a great toy, I bought one for my daughter for her first birthday and it goes everywhere with us now.  My daughter sleeps with Violet, and then plays with her in her crib in the morning while I get ready for work.  The songs are nice, the voice is not annoying, and there is volume control.  Batteries seem to last a while which is nice, and my husband said it was easy to program.  My daughter does not have a common name but Violet learned it and pronounces it correctly.  I will be buying these as first birthday presents from now on.

We bought the Loving Dollhouse and Stable and the all the accessories for our three year old daughter, Callie, for Christmas.  She is crazy about the dollhouse and spends several hours each day playing with it.  It has been a terrific outlet for her imagination and it is fun to see her grow through play and see what she will act out next.  She will be playing with this for years.  The dollhouse and accessories are very durable and easy to clean.  I would recommend this toy for anyone.

wow i was impressed when i received this doll.  I absolutely love the box which is reusable it is so pretty.  the paper dolls and finger puppets are nice accessories to the main doll.  the doll is soft and colorful.  she seems to be well made with quality material.  she is so pretty.  my daughter is 5 and just loves this.  she asked me if it was expensive.  it looks more expensive than it actually was.  that is very unusual in the world of toys.

My three girls are ages 11, 9, and 6 and they all love this doll.  I barely had the doll out of the box before they were deciding on games to play with her and who was going to feed her first. I think in the two weeks that we have had her she has barely been put down. I find the 6 year old with her all the time. She loves to feed her the bottle as well as food.

While the food and diaper aspect of her are really cool, we did find the cost of refills to be way too high. $7.00 for 7 diapers, instead we are using real diapers that we already have at home, and they work just as well.

My son is 4 and even he has been found playing with this doll. He thinks that it is so cool to put the spoon or bottle into the dolls mouth and listen to her talk.

Overall I would say this is an excellent toy and the kids are having a wonderful time playing with her.

We received this toy for free to try from Hasbro.

I bought this toy before my granddaughter was even born. I put it on the gift at her baby shower. To this day it is one of her favorite toys to play with. She's 11 months old now. She loves it.

This is such a great toy. I love putting all of her extra stuff animal skins inside the ball and watch her pull them all out.

I don't understand why anybody woud rate this doll less then a 5.  This doll is the most amazing doll in the world.  She says the cutest things to my daughter.  The clean up is a little more then the average doll. But duh!  The doll pees and poops.  Luckily for me, my daughter is 4 and she understands how to give the doll a water bottle after every feeding.  The doll did an accident on a metal chair and my daughter got some wipes and cleaned up the mess.  It was very cute because she was talking to her and explaining that she needs to hold it next time.  She has different play modes that are very simple to navigate through (hungry,play, potty, nap).  She doesnt go to sleep immediately and it is so sweet watching my daughter shush her to bed.  VERY good toy for the 4 year old in my house and she cleans up her mess!

We got this toy as a shower gift. When my daughter turned 6 months we got it out and she started playing with it on the floor laying down and while sitting. When she started to stand she could lean on it and play with it. Until she was about 11 months old and received a ton of new toys for Christmas, this was her most used toy on a daily basis! She is now 16 months old and will still go over and play with it even though we keep it in the corner now. One of the best toys we've had!

This gift has yet to be opened by my five year old daughter, but since it's arrival in the household - - it's been a winner.

Assembly is easier than expected and for the non hammer yielding, screwdriver holding parents - it's easier than putting together a new computer or figuring out the controls on an iPod stereo system.

The other kids in the house have seen it, as well as friends and family. I pre-assembled it, but have it "hidden" away for Christmas. I've shown the toy off to everyone who visits and the ten and fifteen year olds in the house. The ten year old wants one and the fifteen year old thinks it is amazing in how it responds and reacts to sounds, light and petting.

The horse stands a good three feet high and will make an EXCELLENT addition to my daughters collection of toys. This one will have more play time than any of the other toys by any stretch and will easily have batteries being replaced weekly.

If you want to make your daughter happy and bring that most wonderful feeling of satisfaction to yourself for choosing the right gift - this one will do the trick.

My 1-1/2 year old female Pomapoo is a lover of all things squeak. She's also an expert "surgeon" at removing them. This little guy contains an indestructible little tube with two kinds of squeaks, and I seriously think there is no way Dr. Zoey will be able to remove them. She has experienced HOURS of fun with this thing, as we toss it down the hallway and she retrieves it. She LOVES the two squeaks and totally knows they're in there because she will squeak it different ways as she's coming back to give it to us. It couldn't have been a better present for an energetic, intelligent pup. We will be buying extras for when the fur wears out on this one!

I got this for my daughter for her second birthday, she LOVES the basket, loves the food and of course taking everything out and putting it back in.  She also loves the songs that it plays and she uses it like a radio, keeps hitting the song button and dancing.

We have had this toy for almost 6 months now and it is still one of her favorites. She especially loves to take it on car rides and have pretend picnics in the car.  We have misplaced the pieces on and off but we eventually get them all back together, they are a little hard to fit in the basket if you have all of them actually, but they do fit.

I think this is a great toy that little ones will love.
