Babies quickly catch on to cause and effect, as each tap rewards them with lights, letters, and music. Music Play mode lets the child freely explore music, fostering open-ended play and creative movement. And this drum's lively, roll-along song teaches them to crawl after the drum.

Don't do it...don't be a sucker (2008-12-04)
This is the worst toy ever. I have never felt so robbed since the idea of a healthy twinkie!
First off and very important...one cannot actually drum on this toy. My kid lost interest quickly.
the music is annoying. Constant. The toy tries to draw you in by talking and talking and talking until you hit it. This seems violent to me ^_^. but when you start to hit if you tilt it at all it will reset and the annoying voice starts all over again. The voice isn't annoying so much as needy.
It is surprisingly durable...but I would really rather a better toy.
I happen to have an earlier model and it is also durable not quite as annoying...I bought this one because it is bilingual but not worth it. Don't be a sucker...walk away
Great Baby Shower Gift (2008-11-30)
I bought this drum for my daughter when she was three months old. (I know she was a little young) She really started playing with it around six months old. She would use the drum to help her sit up. There is a song that the drum plays that she loves. She dances every time she hears it. I like how you can change the language from English to Spanish. Hopefully, it will help her learn her ABC's in both languages. My daughter loves it so much we have given it as a baby shower gift three times.
A little boring (2008-11-11)
this toy was good for my daughter when she was a baby and just beginning to walk and talk, but now she's bored of it. It was good for very basic play but as soon as she was ready for more advanced play (probably 1 year old) she became bored with it.
Just a personal peeve also, it constantly repeats the invitations to play, so prepared to have those drilled into your brain every time it's used.
Kinda Lame (2008-10-21)
The problem with this drum is that it's always playing music, on any of the three settings (except on one setting, but only when it's lying sideways?!), so a child cannot learn cause and effect: to associate his/her own beating on it with it making a sound.
Loads of fun and educational too! (2008-10-21)
My two year old got this for Christmas last year and has been enjoying it ever since. Very fun and educational too. Kids like to bang on things, so why not have the alphabet answer them!
