Product Description

The colorful, plush Lamaze Octotunes has a big friendly face and eight colorful tentacles. Very young infants will love the bright colors and the vanilla scent, but the best part--for older babies who can use both hands to grip--is that Octotunes will respond to squeezes with a different note from each tentacle-horn. Great for budding musicians!

Give Cuddles, Get Music
As baby gets older, Octotunes will reward the child's squeezes with tunes--or just reward snuggles with tootling goodness, which helps baby learn how to nurture. In the meantime, you can squeeze Octotunes' tentacles and watch your baby's eyes light up, especially during tummy time.

Learn to Play Songs
Octotunes comes with a songbook for older kids, who can follow the color coded directions (matched to the tentacle colors) to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Octotunes is 12-1/2 inches high and 10 inches across at the base. It comes with a 90-day limited warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to squeeze! March 14, 2009

By Elle

My (very strong and big for her age) 10-month-old wants to make music so badly with her octopus but the legs don't toot so easily--it takes a strong (adult) hand to make music. Does anyone else have that problem or do we just have a dud? She's had this since birth and has just shown an interest in it in the past month or two. It's a big toy for an infant, heavy and not easily dragged around. I wish it responded to her squeezes. Again, she's got a strong grip but gets frustrated with it pretty fast.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not music to my ears November 14, 2006

By D. Malott

Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased this item from Discovery Channel Store after reading the rave reviews posted there. (Their description differs a bit from the one here) "Each of its eight legs creates a different, soothing musical note when squeezed,".......People this item does NOT create anything close to what could be considered music. It squeaks. It's a cute toy, but be advised that the "soothing musical note" is a squeak like that of a doggy chew toy and that sound is not soothing. My rating would have been higher but due to the description, I had expected sweet, soothing bedtime snuggly for my niece and this is another noise-maker to drive her parents nuts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Octotunes are Off-Key May 29, 2008

By R. S. Wenocur

We found Octy (he was so cute that we nicknamed him immediately) in a lovely toy shop and bought him for our new grandson, although the toy was not packaged and was a bit heavy. Within days, Octy's notes became off-key: either flat or sharp. Months later, we found a shelf of Octotunes toys, also with no wrapping or packaging, at another toy store, but each of them had at least one sour note! Finally, at a third shop, we exchanged Octy for Octy2. Within a week, all his notes became sour, too! We are quite disappointed, since we usually are pleased with LaMaze toys.
