Editorial Review

Made of durable, shatter-proof plastic, this pudgy, pink piggy bank is perfect for young childrenwho can't yet handle a china one. The large slot at the top of the bank can hold small and large coins, evenhalf-dollar ones. A removable plug can be easily popped open from the pig's belly, so children will have no problem enjoying those inevitable afternoons of dumping, stacking, and counting their stash. Collecting money in a piggy bank helps children recognize and name various coins. It also helps them learn to add, count coins, and maybe even starthealthy saving habits. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

A ray of sunshine in tough times
I am in complete accordance with other reviewers who state that this piggy bank is difficult to open; but that is why I am so enthusiastically in support of it. We cannot teach children proper savings habits in these troubled times, unless it's a big hassle to get out their coins. My children have their own piggy banks in pink, and I have a piggy bank in blue, which I will take the liberty of including in this review. I find that the piggy bank is beautiful and durable, but that it does not hold out ground water very well. I did bury my piggy bank in the back yard, after receiving a fairly large money order from my uncle. In general, I do not trust fancy pants banks and other such operations, because I feel that they infringe on my privacy and that they use interest from my money to fund all sorts of experiments. But I must warn anyone who intends to bury their piggy bank, that it is not very effective against the elements. We had a particularly long and cold winter here, and I found that when I retrieved my funds (after forgotting where it was and gouging up most of the yard), that all of the bills were very wet and smelled like my aunt Lucille. I tried to dry the money on a clothesline, and it was all subsequently stolen by--I allege--wayward children in my neighborhood. I can prove nothing as of yet. And I do not blame the makers of this fine product for my misfortune. Instead, as I believe William Shakespeare said best, I come not to bury this piggy bank, but to praise it. It has survived the test of time, and now I use it keep notes and reminders to myself.

Money goes in but doesn't come out.
This bank is pretty cute and very durable, but it's very difficult to open, even for an adult. And once you do get it open, it's even harder to get the money out. It gets stuck in the wells of the legs and you have to keep shaking it and turning it to try to get the money out of the opening. I found it very frustrating and my daughter would never have gotten the money out. My older child loves to take the money out, sort it and count it, which is a big part of the educational value of a piggy bank. So I got this unbreakable one for my younger child. However, we put it right back in the box once we discovered how hard it was to open and get a few quarters back out. Don't buy it unless you want the money to stay in until your child is old enough for college.

Great for Baby Gifts
Our company loves these pigs. It has become a tradition to put a pig out for pregnant employees. Everyone donates and signs a card. Its really fun! ... Read more

Cute Puzzles!
I haven't seen the Twinkle, Twinkle puzzle yet, but I bought the Tek Nek Talking Jack and Jill puzzle for my niece and nephew (ages 3 years and 18 months) for Christmas.It is adorable and they love it!Another person who posted here mentioned that the sound is loud.I didn't think so at all! It's comparable to many toys on the market.

I don't think I'd recommend buying the whole series of these puzzles, but if your child has a favorite nursery rhyme, one of the puzzles in the series might be a nice gift.Good luck in finding any or all of them!

Neat Toy, but way too loud
I bought all six of these talking music puzzles, thinking they would be great for my 2 year old.She loves them and plays the music over and over again.She can't yet put the puzzle pieces where they should go, but there is a button you can press for the music only.These puzzles are way too loud. I had to finally put them away because you could here the music throughout the entire house.They are very cute, but I wish I didn't get them. ... Read more

NOT GOOD!
You can't understand the audio and the pointer moves backwards when you pull the lever.If yu have the pointer on the letter "E" you usually get the "D" or "C".Don't waste your money!

BOO, BAD!
Not Fisher Price quality at all.I had purchased 2 of these and returned them the same day.The sound is pitiful!I couldn't hardly understand what letter it was saying so how could a young child?Also, when you put it on a letter it backed up to a different letter when you pulled the lever.Very disappointed!

Strange
This is a strange toy. First of all, the audio is pretty bad. It's hard to figure out what they are saying some of the time. They also picked some really strange things to represent letters. But overall, my daughter likes to play with it, but I would wait until it's on sale with free shipping to buy it. ... Read more

this is really not a toy...it is a learning tool
This item is a learning tool, if used properly. Most definetly this item is not a toy.
Playing with toys do several things for the person/s who are utilizing the toy reguardless of age. Relieve stress,bring families closer together create and promote great imaginations and sometimes are just mindless fun.
So, in the right hands(with some parental supervision)this is a great learning tool. ... Read more
