I was in Toys-R-Us the other day and saw a woman with about a 5 month old looking at this drum.? I had forgotten what a long-lived toy this is!? I was given one as a gift when my son was quite young.? We began playing with it before he was 6 months old.? Besides having?fun, it starts teaching?as infant?the principle of cause and effect.? As he got older, it has become more and more of a learning tool while he is having a blast with his choice of playing music, imitating the drum beats that they play, numbers?or letters (there are four different settings the child can set it on).? He is now just over 2 ? and still plays with it quite frequently, sometimes singing along as well!? This toy is a definite for any mom!

This has been a great, fun learning tool for my son! It was a gift when he was 15 months old and he thoroughly enjoys it. Although he doesn’t yet grasp the enunciation of all the letters, it has given him a good start and he sings the tune of the alphabet song quite well. His only frustration with it was turning the letters to get them to fit for the first year we had it. That is no longer a problem. This is a gift that I am likely to buy for others since it has been so beneficial to us!
