My daughter had been fascinated with this toy since she was 11 months old, so I would say this is very good toy for toddler's beginning with 12 months not 24. As a matter of fact Boohbah became one of her first words. Now 2 months later, she is still fascinated with it and this is one of the few toys she runs to first thing in the morning, even from the other room where she can't see it (the reason we know she runs to this one because she can say it!

The Boohbah itself didn't impress me that much when I first saw it at local KBToys, the only reason I bought it, I found it much cheaper on ebay, and my baby was already enjoying watching "boohbahs" on tv, so I gave it a try. So far, I am happy I did.
I agree there is little educational value in it, except learning to move as shown, but toys are for babies' fascination not just for education and also to be played with, and this toy fullfills it's purpose. Our little one can play with it up to 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. I think it is enough to make it worth trying.
Also it is very durable, it was kicked, thrown and hit numerous times, and I was afraid that moving mechanims would break; they still work fine. Boohbah dances - my baby claps her hands and shakes her torso and head.
There is no explanation, but some adults in our family like this too :-)

It's just plain entertaining fun!!!

If your toddler watches the Boobah series, this toy will thrill him or her. The doll is identical to the costumed character with soft sparkly fur.

My 2 year old loves her weirdo purple energy ball and squealed--her eyes popped open with delight--when I brought it home. It's now one of her sleep buddies. She thinks he's alive when he moves. At first she was afraid of it (so was I--looks like an alien), the way it's head sort of retracts and pops out and spins. Then she started to imitate its motions and repeat the Boobah chant and tries to feed him. True, the musical bits are a bit short (only instrumental) but now she's learned to press his foot (and hand) to hear more.

She's grown quite attached and sympathetic to the purple monster and asks "okay Boobah?" if he falls on his face while doing one of his head turns while standing on the bed. I was very pleased at her response to this seemingly silly toy. I think small children relating to stuffed toys that move and gesture helps them practice their social skills.

Hilarious, hilarious toy. My five-year-old and one-year-old compete for time with Humbah. The little one drags it around, and the older one sleeps with it next to her bed. We all like the Boohbah music, though I do wish the little songs and dances were longer. However, I bought this toy new in the box at Goodwill for $5.99 so I can't complain.

I got this Boobah for my son for Christmas and I think I was more excited than he was. I thought pressing on its foot would be different than its hand because but it is all the same. Fun music, cute toy, but won't entertain for very long. my son likes using it more to cuddle and drag. I don't regret buying it, I just expected a little more.

My husband bought this for our 2 1/2 year old daughter because it was 70% off (after-Christmas sale). When we got it home and out of the box we discovered that there is no volume control and it is really really loud! Annoyingly loud. After 2 1/2 years of parenting and 2 kids, I am not often bothered by toy-noises, but this one drives me nuts.

That said, our daughter thinks this toy is great and has been playing with it a lot over the past 24+ hours.

ITEM RECEIVED IN GREAT CONDITION! THE KIDS LOVE IT'S DANCING/TALKING FEATURES.

My daughter got so attached to the Boohbah in our church playroom that she wanted one for her birthday. No local store carried this item. As usual, Amazon came through. This time it was a 3rd party vendor. Their service was exceptional. The toy arrived right on time and with fresh batteries. Mighty nice.
Parents, this one is a noisemaker but not squeaky like other music toys. Animatronic but not scary. My kid plays with it for a couple hours a stint.

This is her favorite toy and see was only 3 months when I bought it...

This is a great toy. My son loves this toy. The toy moves it head around and my son does the same thing. When it plays music my son loves to dance to the music. I think it is a great toy to play with.

My friend Laura who is 20, LOVES boohbah's. So, our friends would come over and tease us that they didn't like them - that they were evil. Then one night we all 10 of us went to the tallest building 12 stories high - and dropped the Boohbah. Not only did it NOT break - it still works to this DAY! AMAZING!
My friends were being silly. I still love the Boohbah's I think they are cute. Anything that keeps toddlers busy for that much time - is a great toy. The sounds they make are so cute!
