Cry Stopper!
My daughter is almost 4 months and just now is starting to get over cholic.This toy did and still does wonders for her.She doesn't quite understand what it is yet, but it makes noise and it seems to soothe her especially when she is going through a crying fit.The loud noise that the roller makes is usually what gets her to stop crying.It is a little hard to move, I don't anticipate her ever being able to move it.But the buttons with the different sounds are nice...she is already starting to mimic the words.

Disappointed parent, but son likes it
As a parent I was disappointed in this product.The bow and the roller are very hard to use, my son can't do much with them.He does enjoy pressing the buttons, but that's about all there is to this product.You press a button and it plays a short little tune and says "Cello", "Harp" or "Violin" depending which you press.I'm not sure there's a whole lot of educational value in that.I also find the volume a bit too loud.My 13 month old does like it though, and it's easy for him to hold.

BIGDISAPPOINTMENT!
I bought this toy based on the reviews on this site, which were largely glowing.I was very disappointed in the product.Like so many toys for toddlers, it's almost impossible for a toddler to actually use.My 14 month old daughter can push the music buttons, but the "bow" is almost too hard for *me* to move across the "strings" and it's *way* too hard for her little hands.The roller at the bottom is also much too hard to move, which makes these features a complete waste.With so many musical products to choose from I would strongly recommend that parents skip this one and spend their money on something else. ...

Baby Loves Bethany! (So do I!)
When our baby was 2 1/2 months old, I showed this to her in the store.Her face lit up and she kicked delightedly!I had gone with the intention of buying a Molly Moo or Lotty Ladybird (based on good reviews), but at the store, Bethany Butterfly won my baby's heart hands down over the others. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, the music is absolutely beautiful, by far the best-sounding I've heard in an infant toy. (The one with "off-key notes" must have been defective--ours is perfect!)
My daughter is now 6 months old and still loves her Bethany Butterfly.Well worth the money!Wonderful infant toy!


5 Stars... IF you get a Good One!

I just reviewed this yesterday, saying how wonderful it is (ours is!), but today when I was at BabiesRUs, I saw some with blue fabric on the arms and legs and pull-string. (Ours has black fabric on the arms and legs, and the pull-string is red.) I pulled the string on the one in the store, and to my surprise...and dismay!...it sounded HORRIBLE! Just as another reviewer had complained about, it had MANY off-key notes and didn't sound good at all. I couldn't believe it! Night and day with the one we bought from the very same store a few months ago! I still give this toy 5 stars, because ours is so nice, but I've heard the "bad one" with my own ears and it IS bad. So my recommendation is to go to the store and test it before you buy it to make sure you're getting a good one. I would not risk buying it online.

Cute toy, poor quality music
I ordered this toy for my 3 month old granddaughter, and was quite pleased with it when it arrived until I pulled the string to play the music - Somewhere Over the Rainbow with MANY off key notes!! Am sad to return it, but we certainly won't be able to listen to that tune more than once!

wonderful musical toy!
We got this musical soft toy for our son when he was 3 weeks old and he loved it.Somewhere Over the Rainbow is played gently and for just the right length of time.The musical quality was the best we've heard, not tinny and annoying, not too loud, not too fast... It was very comforting for him - made car rides much better. He is 11 months old now and still loves to hug the butterfly and hear her music.Highly recommend. ... Read more

Very Cute Book
If it has to do with puppies, my boy's got it. This book is very durable and so very cute. I recomend the power touch baby and all of it's books to every parent.

"I Know My Numbers" AND "I Know My Letters" are the best books of the four out right now for the PT Baby!!! ***This book is REALLY good too and REALLY cute.*** This story book is WAY better than the one that comes with the PT Baby. This book is a great addition...just found it yesterday-- yeah, finally.

The pages are way stronger than the reg. PT books for the older kids. These pages are coated and are thicker and more durable. Some of the picture talk and/or make sounds as well.

This book is a must have for your PT Baby. Enjoy!!! ... Read more

Great Toy
We got this toy a week ago for my daughter who is just over 5 months and she loves it.She is lunging forward to get it when it moves away from her and she is able to activate it herself by spinning the middle of the toy (she has even hit the buttons herself).

My baby LOVES this!!
Our TRU only just started carrying the whole brainy baby series... and this was a must have... I wish I could have gotten it for her sooner, because she chases it around for a full hour... it is so interesting to her, with the sounds and lights and rolling around... she loves it.If she rolls it to a wall or hard object, it will even roll back to her.

another great educational toy from leapfrog!
This is a great toy!I got it for my 11 months old boy and although in the beginning he din't know how to work it he still played with it for about 10 min at a time.In less than 2 months he has mastered how it works and enjoys it greatly.He carries it around the house and plays with it for about 20 min at a time now.I love the fact that he can learn spanish by playing with a fun toy.I highly recommend this toy for kids 12 + months.I will definately buy more leapfrog bilingual toys for my little guy.

Great for the bilingual children
Great product!!My son (18 months) loved it from the minute I opened the box.It plays the numbers (1-10) and the entire Spanish alphabet, one by one as you hit the drum. It has two other settings so that they can play with it as a drum. It has two volume settings as well.Batteries come in the product.
This is a wonderful product to teach children the numbers and letters at their pace.
I don't particularly enjoy the stereotypical music, but that's my only complaint.
Enjoy!!

SO MUCH FUN
Our daughter loved this toy so much that we donated one to her nursery school. It is wonderful for teaching the alphabet as they pound on the drum and it even shows the letters as they pound on the drum plus the music and games are a great hit with our Toddler and the rest of her friends at school. ...

Lights, Music and Movement!
I bought this for my four-month old (too early for her to actually activate it) because I needed to stimulate her and get her to turn her head left - she always wants to look in another direction.Finding that task difficult, I thought I needed something bright and simple for her to focus on - and she loves it!The music, lights, movement and the sounds of the balls whirling around in the turtle seem to fascinate her.I couldn't be more pleased.She likes to look at the balls individually and is able to grasp them - I feel like she will eventually grow into interacting with it herself, but in the meantime, it is definitely accomplishing what I intended it to - I plan on tryingsomething similar to alternate so that she doesn't get bored!A great toy!

The turtle is a crowd pleaser!
This is a great little toy. A friend got it "by accident" after she heard about my twins obsetion with peek-a-BLOCKS, but it was one of those GOOD mistakes! My 8 month olds have loved it since they were 6 months old. Its great for being able to put them in, and take them out. Soon my 3 year olds "tought" my 8 month olds how to make it work by pushing the head. It was fun for them, their first peek-a-round toy, which eventually lead to more, (just like peek-a-blocks we now have MANY peek-a-rounds and their playsets,the gumball machine, and the jungle)SO this was the first peek-a-round toy and my kids still enjoy playing with it now and then. The few gripes I have are that there is only one song, and it doesnt spin for too long, but it is still a great toy!

Not so good
My (5.5 month)son has almost all of fisher price's toys - big and small, and this is probably the most disappointing.He might look at it for 3 seconds.It's just not as attractive as the other peek-a-block or roll-a-round toys! ... Read more

Mimi
I am the grandmother of 3-5 month olds (plus 4 older ones.) This about the Left Brain toy. Caroline the oldest, by 3 weeks, loves this toy.It is her favorite.She is teething and the "joy stick" is soft for her to chew on and easily grabbed.The lessons are also easily learned.Any direction turned, it plays letters, shapes, & phonics for them.After 5 seconds it turns off by itself.The music is soft and gentle, too. The twins, Aidan and Avery, like it because it is easily handled and the colorful lights. ... Read more

Disappointed
After receiving the toy, I was very disappointed.Nothing like what I had in mind.Previous products from Baby Einstein have been fabulous, just not this one.More than likely going to the yard sale bin.

Not a winner
I was excited after reading the description about the classical composer musical trumpet.I thought it would be a fun interactive toy. I ordered two, one for my daughter and one as a gift.When they arrived I was immediately disappointed, and it held my daughters attention for only a few minutes.While it is cute, I don't feel the toy holds any educational value and it would become another toy at the bottom of the toy box.I returned both of the trumpets I bought. ...

"I know My Numbers" AND "I know My Letters" are the best books of the four out right now for the PT Baby!!! This title is okay, but it does not have all the colors I thought would have been nice for it to have. What about the colors: pink, white, black and gray...they're not in the book! Those colors would have been nice to include too. But, the colors that are in the book, show the child things & objects that are generally that color. So thats cool.

The pages are way stronger than the reg. PT books for the older kids. These pages are coated and are thicker and more durable. Some of the pictures talk and/or make sounds as well.

This book is still nice to have for your PT Baby too. Enjoy!!! ... Read more

Not Impressed
We've had this ball for over 6 months and our little one won't give it the time of day. I have never seen her so disinterested in a toy before. I brought this because we have several other Manhattan Baby products that we just adore. This one is a huge disappointment. It's much smaller than the picture posted and there are notextures or anything to really engage baby. It's also odd because our Ellie loves "taggies" but she is not the teeniest bit enticed by the many tags on this. I would not recommend this product.

Fun, but not as big as I imagined
My 6 month old loves this, but I was very disappointed when I opened the box, it's a lot smaller than I imagined from looking at the picture, maybe they should show a picture of a baby holding it so you can see how small it is. ... Read more

Designed for very young children, this is a charming piano withfour large, easy-to-depress square keys in green, blue, red, and orange.When the keys are played, the metal xylophone-style strips on top of thepiano produce sweet chiming sounds. This little piano will enchant yourchild, teach basic colors, and demonstrate a few fundamentals of music.Surprisingly, the notes are delightful even when played all at once--aunique quality in a toy piano. --Sandy Hirsch ...

Its fun..
Shes loves it and still plays with it at 2 - she sings along

favorite toy!
This was our daughter's favorite toy ever since she was about 3-4 months old. She is now 9 months and still enjoys it. She bangs on it all day long. Her entire little body would start to jump up and down when she would see it on the floor!

Musical fun, builds motor skills
My kids really enjoy music, and both can play with this toy. Older babies and toddlers can sing along while Mom or Dad play songs that kids will recognize, and babies can bang away to their hearts' content. We often have music time in our house, and we now have two pianos so each of my daughters can play. ... Read more

Love it - goin back for more
I wish they had these before Christmas.I purchased this set for my 9 month old son and he loves them.I started with this set to see if he would like them before buying the tree house or more blocks and he LOVES them.He loves to roll them and chase them and he loves to hit them together.They all make a different noise so it keeps him interested.His birthday is only a month away now - he will be getting the whole set.I purchased the peek-a-blocks at Christmas and I wish I had the balls instead.The blocks are ok but the balls are much better. ...
