I got this for my child when he was 5 mo old and he was only interested for 1-2 minutes. However, I put it up and brought it back out when he was almost a year old and he LOVES it. Now that he can put his hands around it and actually pick it up himself, he likes it a whole lot more. We found that the toy was pretty heavy for a 3-6 month old, so for us it worked much better when the baby was a little older.

We bought this for our daugher when she was a few months old since she loved to watch lights and colors. It also seemed like a toy she could work herself somewhat. The toy is listed as appropriate for 3+ months but she didn't use it (without Mommy or Daddy pressing the buttons) until about 6 months or better for a couple reasons. The kaleidoscope is heavy - too heavy for a 3-6 month old to lift with any control. Also, the handles are very wide so tiny hands can't grasp and push the button on the inside to activate the music/lights. The buttons on the inside are the same color as the handle so little babies can't tell what to do - there's no contrast. She's 11 months now and after pressing the buttons a few times she's bored and moves on. It's a cute toy but definately needs 6+ months to begin to enjoy it.

The toy is not a kaleidoscope. Its actually a little boring for my 9 month old...partly because she doesn't get the part where you have to push the buttons and they don't stand out from the handle so its not intuitive for her to press anywhere...So, long story short...she grabs the handle and it does.....nothing. We have to push the buttons for her. Also, the little mirror thing on the bottom is a waste. I wish the colors flashed on the bottom part too. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose to spend my toy dollars elsewhere.

Bought this for my six month old, she really does not care for it at all. My five year old autistic son did enjoy it for about five minutes and set it aside. It has been collecting dust since.
It is just another toy where you press a button and get a short song and light show, nothing more.

for learning colors in 3 languages. Wish they had this when my oldest was a baby. But he is 4.5 and still loves this toy more than the little one. Easy for kids to grasp and use. We love it!
