Customer Reviews

Fiesta!!
This toy cracks me up! It's adorable! I will say, my daughter gets a bit bored with it sometimes, it's a little hard to tell the "point" of the toy. You have to shake it in order to get it to say each color, for example, and sometimes shaking it is too sensitive or the timing feels off...but those are details that my 1 year old doesn't really care about. She likes shaking things and that is all that concerns her!

Fun for a developing baby!
My 9 month old loves this toy. She understands that if she shakes it, she'll hear a new sound/word. She also loves the color changes. The toy is a little loud even on the low setting.

Pretty great
I bought this on a whim at Babies R Us. My daughter, who is 10 months, liked the shakers at a church play room, so I thought she might like these too. I was right. She absolutely loves this toy. She immediately figured out how to tap the one shaker to get it to make noises and change color. She even shakes it when it's off in the hopes of getting it to light up. And it keeps her occupied for a shockingly long time. She likes the other shaker too, which is not battery powered, but just rattles. The toy has three modes, numbers, colors and sound, and each of them is pretty cool. Since my daughter is only 10 months I don't think she's getting too much education out of it....but you can switch it to Spanish as well. The music gets really annoying after a while, and I always end up turning it off after like 15 minutes. But my kid LOVES this toy. It's pretty amusing to watch her play with it.
