Toys and Games Reviews of Tumblin' Sounds Goldfish
Customer Review: just OK for a Fisher Price
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had great luck with all the Fisher Price toys I've bought for my daughter. We picked this one up today, and was looking forwards to having something for her to play with her peek a blocks she received in the past.
Just a few things:
You can only fit 3 blocks in the fish at a time (it came with 4)
When it comes time to "open" the fishes mouth, my daughter can't figure it out and the fish just tips over on it's side. I mean, she is only 11 months old but with a rating of 6 months and up you'd think this wouldnt be difficult.
Good things about the toy--the music it plays is very cute, short and sweet. My daughter caught on right away where to put the blocks, but quickly got upset since you can only fit 3 inside.
OH, it has this little green handle on it too, where you can "stack" other blocks around. How stupid, as soon as you push the tail down to release the blocks, the ones stacked on top just fall off. Oh well, it was only 13 bucks so I'm not too upset about it.
All in all, she was way better toys than this one. I guess it's back to the toy store to pick out a different peek a blocks accessory.
Customer Review: Not very entertaining.
Summary: 2 Stars
I was out one day shopping for age appropriate toys for my 8 month old and saw this. I bought it since it has the peek a blocks that my son enjoys from his other toys.
The only thing about this toy that my son likes is the blocks. The fish itself doesn't hold his attention. He stops and listens to the music, but other than that he is not interested. It comes with 4 blocks but only 3 really fits inside the fish. The fact that you have to press on the fish to make the mouth open and release the blocks is a little too advanced for an 8 month old, let along for 6 months, which is the age this toy is rated for.
My son is now 10 months and still ignores the fish.
If you want a toy that will hold your child's attention, I would pass by this one and keep looking.
Customer Review: It's o.k.
Summary: 3 Stars
I agree with previous reviewers. It is hard to get all 4 blocks in the fish. It only plays music with the first block unless you are lucky. I also find it hard to push the fish to get the blocks out. It requires two hands or it tips over, which is a lot of coordination for babies. It is actually rated for 9 months and up (not 6 months as one reviewer said), but even so, it isn't the most interesting toy. I think the giraffe is better, though we don't own it. This toy is o.k., but it is not one of Fisher Price's best toys. Every child is different as far as what they like. This toy didn't hold my son's attention, but he also doesn't sit in one place for long!Customer Review: Not a great toy
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this toy at Toys R Us because it was on clearance for $7 (normally $15). I like the Peek-a-Blocks, and this one being so cheap, seemed like a good deal.
Good points: it comes with four blocks (although by far not the most entertaining of the Peek-a-Blocks sets) and the music is soft and plays a very pleasant tune; it stores nicely, all 4 blocks fit inside and the unit is compact.
Bad points: it is not very entertaining; my 6-month-old barely looks at it compared to her other toys
This is an okay toy for $7. For $15, there are much better toys out there.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm very disappointed with this product. I bought it when my daughter was 6 months old because it is recommended for 6+ months. However, she didn't start playing with it until 10 months. She likes putting the blocks inside the fish but gets mad when the 4th block doesn't fit. She also gets mad when she can't get the blocks out because she doesn't understand how to empty the fish by pushing down on his tail. Its overall fish design is what attracted me to the product however I am so disappointed with it.
