My baby girl received this for Christmas at 4 months old and wasn't interested at that point. I pulled it out again a few weeks ago as she turned 1 and she still isn't interested. She doesn't dislike it but she doesn't engage with it.
We love this toy! All 5 of my children have played with a version of this toy since they were little. My oldest girls all had one that was passed down when we bought it for our first born. We donated it after they were too old to continue playing with it. Then we had twins and went right back to the store to buy it again. It is a wonderful "friend" for the little ones and can really teach them a lot. I would definitely recommend this toy to any one with young children.
This toy as made it through three children and is in excellent condition. My five year old has it in a doggie bed "a plastic container wrapped in a towel" right now. It's great for all ages.
I brought this toy for my son when he 1 and he still plays with it. When my son first received this toy he didn't play with it all that much but as he got older he played with it more. He will be 3 next month and still plays with this toy.
