what a toy!
I bought this toy for my brother's one year old twins. They both loved it. It is big enough for both of them to play with at the same time. My brother has called me twice to thank me for such a great gift.
Childs interest barely lives up to price
While i was thrilled to watch my 6 month old baby learn to grip the balls within a day of using this toy, his overall enjoyment of this whole playcenter has yet to live up to the price. Although I did witness him try to pull himself up on it the other day, but he could have done the same thing with a coffee table. It is pretty cute watching him hit the dangling items when he knows it will make the music play. He hits it and then sits back and dances. But I think he's still too small to appreciate the monkey arms or the elephant ears. Most of his time is spent taking balls out and putting balls into the hippo.
Wonderful toy for developing coordination
This is a fantastic toy for developing a little one's coordination. It has lots of locations at various heights for my son to hold on. He pulled up to standing for the first time by holding onto the elephant's ears, then pulling up on the top vine. It was so cute to watch how proud he was of himself. He is also able to support himself in kneeling by holding onto the the ramp while reaching down to his sides to pick up the balls. This is one of the few toys I have seen that encourage kids to both move sideways and up and down to interact. The songs are fun and not too annoying. The biggest drawback is that I wish there was a way to activate the music while playing with the hippo or elephant. Otherwise I think it is a wonderful toy. It is probably best suited for a child from the time they can sit independently to the time they are walking well.

Innovative Jungle Encourages Active PlayThis durable, plastic play station is set up as an arc, with a slide for balls wrapping around the center support and a bright orange monkey sitting above the slide. The monkey's hands are cupped so that kids can practice balancing balls in them, and his arms move. Each time your child uses a ball or their hand to move one of his arms, he breaks out in song and stimulating, colored lights on the front of the jungle flash.
One song with a fun beat begins, "Walk like an elephant, stomp, stomp, stomp." Another says it's "time to move, fast or slow." Kids ability to clap with these tunes or sing along really makes playtime in the jungle more fun. Best of all, there's several different songs, so parents and kids don't have to keep listening to the same tune over and over again.
In addition to the music and the slide for balls at the center of the jungle, there's a spinning hippo at one end of the arc and a big blue elephant at the other. The hollow elephant has openings in his ears, and when baby drops a ball into them, it comes shooting out his mouth, often eliciting a bout of laughter. If your baby is crawling or walking, he's sure to tire himself right out chasing after run-away balls. There's another set of fun features to help keep the jungle interesting for younger children, especially those who are not yet cruising around on their own. There's also a hanging rattle ball, an alligator on a swing that moves back and forth, and a safe, plastic mirror shaped like the sun so that baby can contemplate her reflection. All these different toys mean that the Musical Jungle stays interesting as children develop new skills.
Durable, Dependable Construction for Safety
We really appreciated how strong the top arch is. Despite being made of plastic, our adult tester was able to lean on this arch without feeling like it was about to break. This is good news for parents of children who are learning to pull themselves up or still need to hold onto an object while standing, since there's no need to worry about the sturdy, stable Musical Jungle coming apart and hurting or disappointing a child.
