Not Loud Enough
The See 'n Say lets our 2 year old choose from 16 different animals, 2 animal songs or the "animal quiz." My son especially likes the song option which either plays "Old McDonald" or "Farmer in the Dell." I like how this new model has more animals than the older version. This version is smaller and slightly easier for little hands to pull. This new model runs on batteries as opposed to the wind-up/unwind kind with the harder-to-pull lever or string.
The major problem with this toy is that it simply isn't loud enough. The spinning wheel drowns out the sound of the animals. It's not even that the spinner is too loud. The toy is just too quiet even in a room with no other noise. It would be impossible to hear it in a daycare or some other louder setting.
Overall, it's a good toy for teaching animals and sounds. The pictures are bright and vivid. I just wish it was louder. Rating:

My 1 year old hates this toy
My one year old keeps trying to like this toy - the potential is there - but he has difficulty holding the toy up and pulling the leaver. When he does have success his little finger inevitably gets pinched between the spinning arrow and the side of the toy. He's 16 mos old now and pretty much ignores the toy now. Rating:

A Different Story - Be Careful
Was looking for the same toy I grew up with but this one was half in size and not loud at all. Hearing the sounds are a big problem. Did not hold the childs attention well at all. Very disappointing. F-P could have made this one better - potentially taking safety too far and overiding the performance factor. Rating:

Brings back memories when I was a child
We haven't used this yet as our baby is still too young but the toy works great. Can't wait when our child uses it. I just saw the item and had to get it. The sounds are really good and it looks very educational. Rating:

a special child
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. |
