This was purchased as a gift for my 1 yr old and became the immediate favorite of both my daughter and her 3 yr old brother. This is the first game that they can both play together. It keeps them occupied for hours, and the music, while clearly electronic, closely mimics the sound of real instruments and is not at all irritating- so we don’t mind listening to it for hours. It is also exceptionally durable, having now been dropped, kicked, licked, and knocked out the car window. No cracks, no broken pieces, and still plays as well as it did the first day out of the box.

We bought this last year for Christmas for our (then) 18-month-old. She loved it, but the real surprise was last month when our 10-month-old discovered it. To say he loved it would be a real understatement!! He loves to crawl around after it and will play with it for 30 minutes at a time–amazing for a baby to play with something for that long.
The music is a pleasure to listen to, especially compared with most musical baby toys. Like the other reviewers, I would have liked the addition of a volume control, but otherwise this toy is perfect. The batteries even seem to last a very long time. I was amazed that my 2-1/2 year old and 10-month-old can be mesmerized by the same toy.

I have 10 month old twin boys. I got this as a gift at their birth. Since they have been able to manipulate toys they have enjoyed playing with this cube. When one starts it up, the other comes running. This is a toy that will continue to grow with them and teach them the wonders of music. Right now they just enjoy the cause and effect of touching a button and the cube playing. I am looking forward to when they can add & remove instruments to listen to the different sounds and parts. I highly recommend this for any parent interested in spurring a musical interest in their child.

in the store. My husband wanted to look for baby toys and all I wanted to do was play with this cube. You can play the entire musical score or break it down into individual instruments. I can easily see this toy growing with the child, learning cause and effect (if I push this music comes out) to more sophisticated reasoning (if I push this I only hear one kind of instrument). Great for musically inclined parents and kids!

My 15 month old daughter adores this toy. She has had it since she was 6 months old. Since she has been about 11 months old, she has become even more enamored with it. She carries it around and dances to it all the time. If I hum one of the tunes, she will go find the toy and start playing with it. This toy is part of the reason she loves music and dance so much! It is highly durable as well–the first set of batteries lasted over a year, and it can easily withstand being dropped. I highly recommend it.

This was a gift and I’m glad Harry got it! For the first 5 months it scared him to death, which scared me to death, but now at 8 months he adores it and it is his only toy that continues to hold his interest. He is usually bored after the first five minutes with a toy but not this one. He can consistently make it play, he loves the flashing light and there is a big enough variety of music to keep him happy. I haven’t had any durability problems, but it has never fallen since it lives on the floor. DO NOT buy it for a young baby, however. Everyone seems to agree that it really frightens them.

We bought this toy when I was 5 months pregnant. We started letting my daughter play with this cube when she was 6 months. She is now 10 months old and we were surprised yesterday when she turned and tossed the cube to the “orchester” button whenever she wants some music!!! Talking about music stimulates the brain…this may be true.

I am on my second child and this toy continues to be a favorite.
The cube has six buttons. It will play one of six Mozart tunes. One button switches between the tunes while the others turn on and off specific instruments (piano, violin, harp, french horn, flute).
The cube has rounded corners with durable rubber bumpers that make it both safe and durable. It is amazing how much abuse this toy can take.
My oldest received the toy when she was 13 months and now nearly three years later she is still playing with it as is her younger brother.
A little pricey, but very-well made. A toy that will last from one child to another.

My son received this toy when he was 4 months old, and was instantly taken with the music. Now at 15 months, he still loves this toy, but he can also press the buttons to make the music play himself. I have noticed that he almost always presses the flute button, so I think that he has learned from this toy which sounds he likes better. So not only is this toy great fun for little ones, but it is also educational. I have also given this toy as a gift to many of my friends babies and have always gotten positive feedback.

I have read through some of the ridiculous low-star reviews and can’t believe how anal people are. This is a baby’s toy for $20. It’s not a minature version of the New York Symphony stuffed into a $600 Bose music player, like some people are expecting.
Since this is a child’s toy, I think it’s serves it’s purpose well. The music is clear. The lights flash when the music plays. I think it’s neat that you can add or subtract musical instruments during the song that’s playing so your baby can hear what each individual instrument sounds like.
My daughter loves the toy. It keeps her occupied for long periods of time and she’s learning the names of each instrument and how they each sound both together in an orchestra and individually.
The people who are expecting this to be something more than it is need to understand that the toy wasn’t designed for their enjoyment. The toy was designed for children. And, in my opinion, it’s an exceptional toy that will keep most children entertained which, in and of itself, is a blessing.
