This is the most annoying toy my daughter owns. There are six buttons for children to press. Three that alternate between making animal noises /naming the corresponding animal and playing a song made up of electronic barking etc. The other 3 buttons count 1-3 and name shapes. These features would be tolerable if you weren't constantly bombarded with several phrases: "flashing lights and music too it's fun playing games with you" "roll roll roll the ball gently as can be watch it spin round and round it's fun to play you'll see" "so much here to learn and see why don't you come and play with me." These play when you turn on the toy and when it thinks you haven't touched the toy recently enough and before it shuts off. It is the most obnoxious toy. By daughter will occasionally play with it, otherwise I'd throw it away. Not recommended.
