Good Solid Toy
My daughter goes off and on with this toy, like any other toy, she likes to shake and hit it, not sure if she cares that it makes the music, she does like the maraca aspect to it. I could do withou the spanish and she flips the switch and then spanish comes out, talk about irritating.

Shake It Slowly
I bought these for my neice for her 1 year old birthday. I read reviews that said the one maraca that lit up and made noise got more children's attention than the one that was a normal maraca, however, my neice preferred the plain one the first time I gave them to her! She liked how she could shake them to her own beat. She didn't quite get how to shake the one that counts, sings, and tells her the colors, but she liked how it lit up....This toy requires a little patience because if it is in the middle of saying a color for example and you shake it again, it won't register and immediately switch the the next color. I think with a little time and help from mom she will put 2 and 2 together that the words match the actions of the toy.

Great toy
Bought this for a friend, And the baby loved it. I would recommend this toy to who ever has a baby. He has heaps of fun with it!!

learn adn groove maracas
My teens love this toy, but the baby could care less about it. Only one of the maracas work; the other is just a rattle. Don't waste your money!

Not Happy
My 1 year old is learning to control her hand movements. Thus if the shake is sometimes too hard she can accidently hurt herself. I think they should be made of something softer.
