This is an exceptional sensory stimulating toy. Ideal for infants as young as 4 or 5 months. Having 6 different ways to explore this toy, it will also keeps an infant's interest throughout their quickly developing first year.

There is a mirror that spins, 2 wire bead tracks with 2 beads each (different shapes), a spining and clicking circular divice with finger 2 impressions allowing you to teach your child how to turn the disk, an abacus type section with green and orange disks, a spiral "pole" with an orange disk that will fall down the spirals when turned, and finally a cylinder with 4 levels of plastic swiss cheese type bariers allowing very tiny beads to fall through making a "rain stick" type sound. This too spins.

It is small enough to take in the car, easy to carry, light yet very sturdy. I have no concerns about any part of this breaking or coming apart. Because it is light weight, it is very easy for the child to manipulate. It will hold their attention, teach them about basic physical properties and laws (such as gravity), and will last through at least 2 children.

A good addition to the playroom.

My baby's arm/elbow got stuck inside this toy. I tried to free her but the toy is very well made that I can't break it. My baby's constricted arm started to turn purple after 15 minutes, so I had to call 911. It took 3 firefighters to get her arm off from the toy. I think this toy should be recalled.

We received this as a gift when my son was 6 months old and at the time he loved spining the mirror and the little barrel of beads. As he got older, he started to learn how to use all the other functions on the cube. He is 10 months now and I have to admit he plays with it less frequently but every so often, he will sit there and play with it for a good 5-10 min. Overall, I think this toy was awesome!!

I bought this for my son when he was 5mo.s old. I pulled it out for him at 6mo.s and he had no iterest. I pulled it out again at 7mo.s and he LOVES it. It really works his hand eye coordination. It is small enough so now that he is sitting up, he can move it around and change it to what interests him at the moment. It has been really good for his independent play time.

I bought this for my 7 month old who was learning to sit on her own. She seemed to like boxes -- diaper wipe box, kleenex box, etc -- so I thought this would be a definite hit. For the first month, she was definitely interested in it but it didn't hold her attenton for more than a few minutes -- perhaps she wasn't at the recommended age? I still thought it was pretty cool though and I don't know how a baby's arm could get stuck in this (as somebody else wrote) -- My baby never had a problem with that. The item description says that it requires 2 AA batteries but I don't think that's correct as there is definitely no battery compartment on this cube!

This video was taken when she was about 9 months old. There are 3 sides she likes more than the others and she will pretty much only plays with those 3 sides. Now just hitting 11 months, she will play with this on occassion but only for a couple of minutes before she finds something else more exciting.

My twins love this toy, and because there something different to do from every angle, they can both play with it at once and it has real lasting power. The clicking spiral disc is a particular favorite. A nice next step when smaller rattles start to get boring!

We got this as a shower gift, and gave it to our daughter when she was about 4 mos. old. She loved it instantly. It was just the right size for her to hold in her hands and balance with her feet when she was lying on her back. She used it for a long time and her playgroup friends loved it, too. I think the different activities appeal to different levels so they are always finding something new on it. I'm so glad we got it and will have it for our next baby as well. A must buy!

This toy has so many different things to play with. It's great. My son, who is currently 8-months-old, loves it and I think he will continue to enjoy it as he grows (which is a great thing).

My 7 month old daughter enjoyed all of the activities on this cube, especially the mirror. Now at 9 months it is still a great toy for her.

This is a very entertaining toy. My 9 month old son loves each side of it. The toy is light enough for him to pull it on his lap to play with. Each side has many things to move and spin. Highly recommended!
