My ten month old got this as a gift and loves it! Many pop up toys are difficult for very young children to use. The buttons on this toy are easy to push and knobs easy to turn. He was frustrated by his other pop up toy that he could rarely get to work with his tiny hands. This allows his cognitive abilities to develop even before his fine motor skills would be ready to use other toys.

My 17 month old girl likes this toy but finds the yellow and orange buttons hard to move so she brings the toy to me. She also finds difficulty in pushing them back down sometimes.

My daughter was given this toy when she was one, and she played with it for over a year. Firstly the fun was in seeing the dinosaurs pop up, then as she grew a little older she'd memorize which color dino was under which color egg, and see if she could get it right. I think this was one of the best presents she got for her first bd. Definitely recommend it.

I purchased this toy for my son's 1st birthday. I looked high and low for a pop up toy that didn't sing long annoying songs, or have lights, noises, etc. We have plenty of those toys. I wanted a simple, yet entertaining and educational toy. And that's what I found with this one. My son loves to work the buttons to make the dinosaurs pop. Even my 3 year old likes to play with it too. She helps him by pushing the tops back down. The entire toy is very sturdy. Others have mentioned that the tops break off, but I even tried to break it with my hand and couldnt, you'd need a hammer! Best of all, it doesnt need batteries!

My son is 1 YO and he has so much fun with this toy - right now he watches them pop-up (with my help) and he tries to push them back down. The buttons are easy to manipulate - I don't think it will be long before he is pushing or turning the knobs himself. And BEST of all - Tolo products are all Bispenol-A and phthalate FREE, which are both proven hormone disrupters. This is an excellant company and a great toy - I will definitely be purchasing from them again.

once you get this toy in your hands you can see the cheap construction--the buttons don't work smoothly and the egg-tops are easy to pull off: just the right size for my toddler to pop in his mouth! i chucked this one right in the garbage....

My 18 month old received this as a gift for his 1st birthday. I agree that the buttons are too hard to push, they work great if he steps on them. It is indestractable, believe me he has thrown it, sat on it and stepped on it. Problem is, he could care less. We tried playing with him, naming the colors and shapes. One shot through the line-up and he was off looking for something else to do. In my opinion, it's just not interesting enough.

The springs on this toy are extremely tight, making it very difficult for babies and toddlers to operate. Althouhg it is nice to see dinosaurs instead of all the other familiar characters, all of the other pop-up boxes I've seen "reward" the child by popping up with much less hand strength required.
