5.0 out of 5 stars Great toy but shop for better price, May 30, 2008

Enough variety to keep the attention of my 3- year olds for a good amount of time - portability is perfect for car rides. But price has gone from around $12 to $20 in one month, what's that about - maybe it's a new model? Regardless, it's a fun and engaging item.

My 19 month old loves this toy. My best friend's 13 month old loves this toy. I do have a couple problems with this toy. It does not have a volume switch and it is pretty loud. Also, I like my daughter to use it in the identification mode, but it is so easy for her to switch modes, I can't keep it on her level. She loves the song! On the plus side, it is very educational and fun for the kids. It also turns off on its own when she just drops it on the floor and walks off, which I like. Overall, I would recommend this toy!

This review is from: Talking Smart Sticks: Colors & Shapes (Toy)

I bought this toy for my 4yr. old son to help him learn his shapes and colors. He likes the song that it plays and it keeps his attention. The only thing that I found wrong with it is that it is a little too loud. So I put some tape over the speaker to make it a little quiter. Other than that this is a great toy for toddlers and preschoolers alike.
