• "The first thing I noticed, when I opened the shipping box was that, although it is listed as being for 1-4 year old boys and girls, it comes with a warning not to give it to anyone under 3 years old, as some pieces may be a choking hazard."

Design & Functionality

Pros:

• "Our 4 year old loves to play the sliding matching numbers game on the side."
• "I love that this toy is multipurpose."
• "Great for fine motor development, colors, & numbers."
• "It’s just a miniature version of those big ones! My kids love it!"
• "They have a small house so getting her something she actually plays with that doesn't take up much space is a plus!"
• "It's multifunctional with no parts to keep track of, except the the mallet."
• "The numbers slide smoothly so your little one will have no problem moving them about."

Cons:

• "The number side is truly pretty much useless though."
• "The number sorting maze is difficult to work and would be hard for a 5 year old to manipulate."
• "The xylophone doesn’t play as well as hoped because it doesn’t lie level."
• "The only thing is that on the side with the number pegs there are two zeros and no number 1."
• "The peg side works well like a whack a mole but the xylophone side doesn’t make noise and the side that slides number pegs along doesn’t have much room to actually move the numbers to the correct spot."
• "The maze is so tight that even I get frustrated trying to get the numbers to match."
• "Also the Numbers are a little tough to move."

Safety

Pros:

• "It is built well and not a choking risk for the baby."
• "This product contains items that cannot be given to young children or babies."
• "My recommendation is to wait until the child is no longer places toys in their mouths and closely supervise the interaction with the toy."
