Toys and Games Reviews of The Farmer Says
Customer Review: Stored in a barn for authenticity?
Summary: 3 Stars
This was absolutely filthy when it arrived! Fine dirt and little bits of grass covered the box and the toy itself. I would have sent it back, but my little girl was so excited that I couldn't bear to disappoint her. After about 10 minutes of cleaning it off and wondering what else might be covering it, I handed it over. Turns out it is a bit too difficult for an 18 month old. She likes it, but needs a lot of help getting it to work. Unless I'm there to pull the lever, it is nothing more than a fun thing to slide around the carpet. The older version, while not as theoretically safe, was so much easier! Next time I'll be more patient and try it out in the store first.Customer Review: interesting take on the old one

My daughter (age 1.5) loves to play with this toy. She especially loves when the arrow lands on a song. She will dance along with it. My only problem with this new version of the older toy is the quiz part of the toy. If the arrow lands on the ?mark it wants the kid to place the arrow pointing at a certain animal. This would be fine, but it's a difficult concept for such a young child and if you get it wrong (aka, just pull the lever again without point it at the correct answer) it tells you you're wrong and keeps asking. It gets irritating and my daughter will get bored since it doesn't do animal sounds anymore and she quits playing with the toy.Customer Review: a special child
Summary: 5 Stars
My sister who suffers from cerebral palsy took a liking to this toy more than 15 years ago. She cannot speak herself but enjoys listening to the sounds of the animals and watching the center arrow spin. She's never grown tired of it and recognizes the toy even if she hasn't had one for a couple of years. The toy is very durable and never comes apart despite the bashing it takes in her adult hands. The lever is easy to use and requires very little effort. She learned to use it very quickly. The internal mechanics fail eventually after repeated use. This is a very safe and educational toy. It will last a long time in the hands of a small child.Customer Review: The Farmer Says: Poo Poo

Man . . way to ruin a classic! Toys are made so crappy now. This use to be a cool toy. .They make it way el cheapo now. Save yr money. Mr. Potato Head is still good, magnadoodle is good, some toy pianos are still good, . . . we are buying alot of natural wooden toys (i.e. wood blocks, giant puzzles, we even found the classic corn popper push toy in wood, real instruments that are kid friendly, etc. ). . . not this 10 cent plastic waste of time type of stuff anymore. Work too hard for the money. damn. you can buy sterling silver action figures for these prices! ! ! you could almost buy your own damn REAL farm. ha haCustomer Review: The new see and say
Summary: 4 Stars
When I purchased this product I expected it to be larger, like the one I had as a child 30 or so years ago. This streamlined version no longer has a pull chord, there is a lever, and it is smaller and has a neat flip page so that more animals can be used. My 14 month daughter likes to sit on my lap and listen to the real sounding animal sounds, but so far she has not been able to pull the lever by herself. She especially likes the music that is played when the arrow is pointed to the musical notes. I would recommend this toy as a good start for teaching animal sounds, animal recognition, and fine motor coordination.
