My seven-month old loves playing with this toy whenever we visit the doctor’s office. He loves to manipulate the knobs and buttons and make the animals pop up. An added bonus is that this toy isn’t electronic — no batteries! I haven’t seen it in our local stores, so I’m pleased to see it for sale online.

I bought this for my 9 month old. He loves to push down the animals but I am scared he is going to get his fingers caught when he pushes down. I guess with these types of toys there is no way around it. He loves it but can’t figure out all the buttons yet. Maybe still too young. But he seems to get a kick out of the 2 sliding buttons he can push. Giggles when the animals pop up. Cute toy, great that I don’t have to buy batteries every minute. Very sturdy.

This is a great little toy for anyone with babies/toddlers in the house. Very entertaining, great for building fine motor skills, and NO BATTERIES to replace or annoying loud music.
But I did just wanted to mention there is a color variation in case it would make a difference to anyone else. Mine is green and I took a pic of it that you can see under customer images above.

We bought this for our son’s 1st Birthday. He’s quite the energetic guy so this really did little for him. At first he was curious how it worked and then lost all interest quickly after. Not a big loss though as it was cheap.

We have the lime green version of this toy and it’s a big hit around here. I was actually kind of surprised, considering my girls usually go gaga for the electronic, singing toys, but they both love this. It was one of the first toys my younger daughter could manipulate on her own. It’s great for teaching some of those finer motor skills. The button pop-up is their favorite because it squeaks when you press it. My one complaint is that the twist key-type one has to be turned a little more after the animal pops up to get it to go back down again and the girls don’t really understand that concept just yet. I don’t know if that’s a quirk specific to our toy, though. So if you’re looking for a cute, durable toy that doesn’t require batteries, you are in the right place!
