My little boy got this for Christmas when he was about 9 months old. He LOVED it! Not only does he love music but he loves to bang on things. He opened it up and played with it right away. He loves to change the settings and dances to the musical one that plays a little tune. He loves the colors and he loves to bang in it! This is a fabulous toy! He is a year now and still loves it! it is also very durable as he rolls it around and drops it all the time! Always a plus with my little guy!
