5.0 out of 5 stars Never thought..., October 10, 2007

When I looked at the picture, before I bought this toy, I thought WOW what a great toy...look at all it does. Then, when I got it, it was just OK. It wasn't really what I thought it would be, including its size. But...wow, was I surprised...my daughter (10 months old) loved it...and still does. She has found ways to play with it that I never would have thought of (they always seem to do that!). Now, whenever it is around, she goes right for it. Even though children at her age get board quickly with toys and move on to other things, this is one toy she actually spends time with. So, overall, it am very pleased. It ended up to be a great purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does SO much!, November 28, 2007

this may look simple in the picture but there is truly so much to do. There are two different modes, toddler and baby, which you activate by turning the green part on the top to hide the number or reveal them. In baby mode they can drop the brightling playpals in through the top and they come to the bottom which triggers the toy to sing. mostly everything you do triggers a song, except for the open/close gate and the yellow/blue/red tags you pull. in toddler mode when you opne/close the gate it will tell you how to say hello and goodbye in german, french, japanese, spanish, and english. you can move the tab around the abcs so it sings the abc song. then it will sing numerb when you drop the pals into the chute. this really is an "exploration station" my daughter is constantly finding new little things on this that trigger her interest and excitement to explore!

4.0 out of 5 stars fun toy - only a couple of flaws, April 21, 2008

This review is from: Brightlings Exploration Station (Toy)

My son received this toy for Christmas, when he was 6 mos old. He was very interested in exploring all the features. He now 10 mos and still loves to pull on the ribbons, spin the rainbow spinner, and push on the singing Brightlings. The sound mixing on the music setting is even fun for adults. This is a great toy to teach cause and effect. One flaw is that it isn't very stable. My son and a friend of his easily pull it over on themselves. Also, we had to pull off the flowers, because they are spring loaded and when my son pushed on them, they sprung back and hit him in the face hard, making him cry. They are not easily removed so we broke them off. Also, it would be nice if there were a place to keep the balls.
