Sign in to write a reviewA younger child (6-18 months) experiences this as a sensory toy. They enjoy the sounds, the bright colors, and the satisfaction of pressing the button (or having it pressed for them). An older toddler (18 months-3 years) uses it as a learning tool. They will actively press the buttons themselves, begin to imitate the sounds, and connect the name of the animal with its picture and its sound, directly building their vocabulary.
