I got this for my twins when they were about 18 months old, to use as a car toy. I really liked the charming, bright design, and it seemed like something that my occupy my kids in their carseats. Nearly a year and many miles later, they've never really played with it. The six pieces drop all too easily with the floor, and they're so small that it's difficult for a toddler to do the activity in question -- they can't, for example, hold the little square AND zip or unzip the alligator zipper. Pass on this, and get something like the Doodle Pro or some kind of pop-up toy.
