This toy is a girl take on the bop-it that has been around a good 10 years. This is great for kids and tests their listening/coordination skills. It requires multiple levels of thought and basically asks your child to do three tasks and react quickly! It is better than sitting on the couch and starring at the tv. My 6 & 8 year old love it! And as with any of their toys - even blocks, you need to put them away and re-introduce them after some time.
