It’s also great for different fine motor skill activities. The flexibility ensures it doesn’t break if dropped, and its small size makes it easy to travel with. I've even bought two more as baby shower gifts!"

It's not just a toy; it's a symphony of sound and laughter that secretly teaches about cause and effect. If you're looking to transform playtime into an educational escapade, this toy is a must-have!"

"I’m a bit torn about this toy. On one hand, it occupies my toddler for half an hour as he watches the balls drop. On the other hand, I spend a lot of time reattaching pieces and retrieving balls that roll under furniture. The pieces come undone too easily, which can be frustrating. It’s the first time my toddler and I have completely disagreed about whether this toy is worth it."

Overall, he really enjoys it and I would definitely recommend it."
