great toy for language development and fine motor skills

I bought this toy for my 12 month old little boy and am very pleased. Each lever, button etc. opens a door to show a different farm animal. The pleasant voice tells him the name of the animal and something about it. The buttons/levers are not difficult to manipulate at all for his age range. His cousins who are 10 months and 2 years both love it as well and have no difficulty playing with it without assistance. I would recommend this toy to anyone. Also, the price is refreshing when you are used to paying much more for other brands with similar features. Hint... price has a wide range so shop around. I bought it for much cheaper in a store.

It's okay BUT....

I got this toy when my daughter was about 11 or 12 months old. I have to say that she absolutley loves this toy then and now. The problem is that there are a couple buttons that trip her up. There's a toggle to flip for a horse and a lever to pull down for a cow and they're extremely hard to push over and pull down. She always gets frustrated when trying to do these two animal's levers and I end up having to help her. She's now 19 months old and still is having problems with the horse lever and can just barely get the cow lever down half the time. And I'd like to make it known that she's not a weak infant! Still, she likes this toy. Just don't expect a 9 month old to pull all the toggles themselves. This maker should've made these easier to manipulate. Or maybe I just got a defective one:-) I'd be my luck.
