This is an excellent little sound maker to add "color" [i.e. unique voice] to events, parties, shows, get-togethers, rallies, home videos, podcasts, drum circles, and theater performances. With a small flick of the wrist or well-placed finger rub, one can make surprising variety of big sounds--anything from a thunder-like clap to weird alien whizzing--from creaking doors to spooky scratches or a hand saw. There seems no end to the type of sound discoveries that users can make. The holder / player can actually feel the power of the vibrations as the product's spring dances, activated by the wrist flick or finger rub. NOTE: Science teachers and students would enjoy this product as a "how and why it works" lab.

Great item but if your tot is hyper with toys and such, you might want to refrain from purchasing this until they can handle it. The springy coil makes the sounds (its really cool and I can't wait until she plays with it again) and my daughter likes to whip it around like crazy...it can really put an eye out or chip a tooth if it gets out of control, so be warned! And she wanted to constantly test the limits, although I tried to show her that only older people should use it. I had to pack this away high on a shelf until she learns to be more gentle with things like this.

If you like making sound effects, this would be a great instrument to have. It's a lot of fun. You can vary the loudness and it makes an impressive sound.
