I don't understand all negative reviews by the other people on here. Our 2mo old son loves this thing. It's the only thing that will calm him done most of the time. I don't think he cares much about being able to see it as the sound it makes. This thing isn't really intended for any child over...maybe...6-ish months so why would you buy it for a two year old?? If you have a newborn, this thing is great. Don't give it a bad review because you bought it for an older child than it was intented for.

The balls don't even move down with enough force to spin the fan or the other objects. It's not like a kladioscope at all. Not worth it.

My daughter thinks this is the coolest thing..but it is much bigger than what I thought..which is my fault for not reading close enough. So she is too little to really play with it b/c she can't hold it good and would hit herself in the head with it..I'm afraid when she is big enough that she won't be interested.

The one we played with before purchase was really cool so I went for it. Unfortunately, this one has so many doodah's along the way that the full "rain" effect is never achieved. Once he is a bit older (no danger of getting whacked with it) we will purchase the real thing.

She was not that interested in it for 1st b-day; we played and showed it to her. Not enough activity for very active one year old. She didn't comprehend anthing about it that was fun; I do think and hope in time this toy was worth the purchase. I "THINK" it will be - only guessing. Cute idea I thought. Would recommend as each child is different on toys and age too.

I thought this would be super fun for my toddler and preschooler, but they never play with it at all. Also, it's really difficult to see anything happening inside (watch the beads fall, or see the plastic layers they fall through...) because the outer plastic is faceted and ghosted and hard to see through. So you can't even watch what's making the noise. Not really a good toy.

I found a much better deal on ebay. It is a new Natural Cactus Rainstick Shaker: 6.5 - 7 inches long. The outside of the rainstick has been gently sanded to remove any splinters. I feel this is a higher quality product to give to my young granddaughter.

This rainstick contains small plastic beads rather than the metal ones I have seen in other rainsticks. As the beads drop though they turn small rotating blades creating colourful movement which my son seems quite taken with. It is not very loud....which is good! It seems to be very sturdy and with all those small plastic beads that is just as well. It's quite weighty which surprised me a little and it can be wielded as a weapon against older irritating brothers as my teen discovered, which can be quite painful. It won't keep your child entertained for hours.....but it is something that they will go back to again and again in short spells for some years. A good buy.

Took a while to receive but the product is a great therapy product for those requiring visual tracking, eye hand coordination and overall cool product.

International Playthings Turn 'n Tumble Rainstick The rain stick is real nice and helps my 9yr old relax well. The only thing I don't like about it is that the plastic things that turn when the stick is turned upside down do not move as freely as I had hoped.
Over all it was a great buy.
