Product Description

Amazon.com 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

This review is from: Lamaze Octotunes Musical Toy (Toy)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Octo-tastic!!, April 13, 2007

This review is from: Lamaze Octotunes Musical Toy (Toy)

My wife and I (yep a guy reviewing a kids toy!) bought this as a present for our 7 month old niece. She is absolutely hooked on it. Having a relatively short attention span with most toys, it was rewarding to see how much she likes it and how long it entertains her. Just squeezing the musical tentacles for her keeps her happy! The big doe eyes have her mesmerized as well. When she gets bored, learning to play tunes keeps the adults happy!!

Playing is easy, you get two color coded tunes on the label and with the help of a musical friend we know a lot more now.

With my wife 4 months pregnant, we have ordered another already.

Only reason for 4 stars is the one we bought had trouble playing the lowest note (red tentacle!).

This review is from: Lamaze Octotunes Musical Toy (Toy)

I didn't realize the tentacles were horns when I purchased it-- I thought they were electric touch-sensors. I like the horns much more since batteries are not required and I know it will not break easily. My 4-month old son cannot squeeze the tentacles to make the noises (yet) but I'm having so much fun playing it for him! He loves the different textures and colors of the fabrics. I've already purchased two more for friends.
