Toys and Games Reviews of Brightlings Exploration Station
Customer Review: Awesome toy - my son's favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
Short version:
PROS
1. songs are not annoying! (and if you do get annoyed, you can change to music only mode so there's no more singing)
2. introduces languages, alphabet, counting, colors, cause and effect, you name it
3. will keep your baby's interest as he/she learns how to manipulate all the different components
4. after daily use for 4 months, we STILL haven't had to replace batteries!
CONS
1. my son has pulled it over on top of himself and that hurts
2. you may lose the little brightlings balls that come with it
Long Version:
We bought this toy for my son when he was just 4 or 5 months old. At first he could only bat at the little flowers on the side, but when he started sitting up he quickly learned to pull the handle to make the rainbow-colored disc spin. The song that plays is really cute too. Now he is 8 months old and he has learned to open and close the door, move the alphabet slider, push and pull the brightling characters (sometimes), and pull the colored ribbons. With each action there is a unique song or sound, which keeps it entertaining for him and keeps it from being annoying for my husband and I. I especially love how the door says "hello" and "good-bye" in english, spanish, french, german, and japanese....what a great way to introduce languages! This toy is truly awesome and keeps my son's attention for 5 to 20 minutes at a time (depending on his mood, lol)....he used to sit and play with it even longer, but he is learning to crawl now. The best part is that there is still more for him to discover, because he has not learned about putting the brightlings balls down the chute yet and he only sometimes by accident will push or pull the brightlings attached to the base, causing them to sing. We will definitely be keeping this toy for the next baby.
