Discount Infantino Drop and Slide Fun Farm

Customer Ratings:

I was unsure of how this toy would work out as I couldn't find any reviews, but I hoped it would encourage my daughter (11 months) to learn to put things in somewhere.

What it does: there are three holes on the top for the three balls to go through. They can sit in the holes, but it only takes a light pressure to push them through I'd been worried by the description that you could hammer them in. It's definitely easy enough for a young child. When they go through the hole, it makes a noise, a different one for each. One hole has a curving slide; the other two drop through the barn.

Other functions: there's a chicken on the front that can be turned around (no sound effects, just a clicking noise). There's a sliding purple door that reveals a drawing of a pig. There's a chicken sitting on three colored "eggs" that serves as a hammer. And there's a button on the front that plays 9 seconds of music.

The music and sounds are pretty good for a kids' toy, the volume isn't too loud, it's a cute tune, and it doesn't drive me insane after hearing it for the 50th time in a row.

Batteries are included, and you need a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the toy from the packaging.

As for my daughter, she seems to enjoy it. She learned to push the balls in, then to play the music, then to put the balls in the holes by herself, so it's done a pretty good job of encouraging her to develop these skills. The sliding purple door and chicken that turns are not of interest to her, and we haven't introduced the hammer yet. Overall, I'm pleased, though for the price I'd expected a bit more to do on it than push the balls in and listen to a short tune.

Update: at 13 months, this toy gets little play. She prefers to take the balls and put them in another toy (the Playskool Busy Ball-Tivity Center). I still think it's a cute toy, and will keep it for future children.

My daughter is very inquisitive, so she loves to stick her hand in everything! I have given her some toys that have much bigger holes for the balls and she always puts her hand right down into them. With this toy the balls are large enough so she cannot swallow them, but not so big that her hand gets stuck when she tries to figure out where they went. This is by far one of her favorite toys!! I would recommend this to all of my friends.

This is a good toy to help children develop some basic motor skills. Being rewarded with music after getting a ball through the hole is a great way to encourage development of that skill. Not all children will have as much fun with the sliding barn door or turning chicken but they are still good skills to encourage children to get. Overall this is a cute activity center and the music is better than a lot of others. The tune isn't one that will drive parents crazy and it's not loud or high pitched as children's toys often are.
