Otherwise, it doesn't sing the whole alphabet song which I would love for any child to learn. Though, I do wish the tunes are much longer. I bought this toy for my one and a half year old nephew and he seems to love it.for a short period. It's definitely durable and will not break if you drop it. When you press the tune button (the 3rd button on top), the tune is super short and he would have to keep pressing it which loses a child's patience after a short while. It does teach you the alphabet by saying each letter only when you press that specific letter on the phone. my nephew loves playing with adult's cell phones so I thought this will keep him interested, but he wasn't really. Go for something that can really teach you the alphabet and play longer tunes.
A voice says "1-2-3." It isn't close enough to a real cell or house phone to encourage phone play; beyond the robot voice saying counting or saying abc's in threes, depending on which # you press, it's not much of an educational toy either. She's 10 months now and is bored with it. Baby could take it or leave it when she got it at 6 months. And the songs in the music mode are too short. Kind of a frenetic little toy that doesn't do much beyond lighting up and flashing. Push buttons, get noise. Just a bar or two of melody. I'd skip this one.
I saw a similar Fisher-Price phone which was larger with more features for about the same price in a retail store. Purchased this exact item only because it was requested by name "Laugh & Learn" by an "angel tree" recipient at church.
It came with a puppy toy.and at the time, the puppy toy came home with us and the phone stayed at Grandma's house. When it happens, we switch it off.and within a few hours it will be fine again.
She was 11 months at the time and enjoyed it immensely. It was put into a playroom for a while when she got a little older, she wasn't as "into" the lights & sounds as much as she just wanted to do pretend play.
My mom got this toy for my first child's very first Christmas in 2004. The only problem we have had is that somehow a sound keeps repeating.I have tried to see if there is a button stuck down.but they all seem to be okay.
She switched it into the off position a lot to keep it from talking back to her, lol.My second child was born in '07 and started playing with it at about 6 months. She LOVES it.
I don't think it's too loud or too quiet.and I don't remember what the sound was IN the box, it's just been too long. We haven't changed the batteries in it once yet.and now it is with us at home, instead of grandma's.
Our 6 month old was always grabbing our TV remotes and our phones, so we got this for her to grab instead. We pretend to use it and let her grab it from us, and she LOVES it. It's a little annoying sometimes, but it has a great feature: an OFF button. It's very cheerful and she loves to play with it.
