Our 10 month old loves this kazoo...we watch him carefully when playing with it because it is not something to just let them use on their own. Could be dangerous if it came apart. Also, the paint on it started to quickly smear off from some biting and gumming so I quickly washed it off (came off easily with some water and rubbing with a towel). I would prefer that they just don't paint it or etch their logo instead.He smiles and laughs at the noise when daddy plays it, and when we get together for music time he will just grab it to "sing" into it as well...he has a ball.
