We have already found lots of ways to play with this toy. She is very interested in learning the names of objects right now, and this toy is great for that. She'll point at one of the pieces, we'll name it ("star"), she'll move on to the next one ("puppy"), and so on. She also likes to practice "sharing" by giving me one of the pieces and waiting for me to to hand it back. And, of course, the pieces are fun for throwing, shaking, and chewing. So far, we've gotten a lot of play out of it.
The only drawback is that it's tough for her little hands to pull some of the pieces out. If you stuff everything into the rocket, she can get the objects at the top without much trouble, but she can't pull them from all the way down in the bottom. The manufacturer's suggested age for this toy is 12+ months, so she may just be a bit young for it. In the mean time, we help her get the toys from the bottom of the rocket, or we put them in a larger container for her. Overall, she enjoys this toy quite a bit.

This is an awesome product. Includes 5 little space-theme toys that all fit inside the rocketship, and there's even a window so the "astronaut" can peek out. Every piece does something (rattle, crinkle, etc.) so it all holds my 1 year old's attention. He loves taking all the things out and putting them back in. Plus there is a decent mirror on the bottom of the rocketship too, plus a ring on top if you wanted to sttach it to a car seat, stroller, etc. Couldn't find anything like this in the toy store but very glad I found it here.Best Deals for Early Years Rocket Baby Activity Set
My 7 month old loves these toys. The small toys are a great size for him to grasp with his little hands. However, he is at the age where everything goes into his mouth. I didn't see the recommended age for this toy in the description, and not until after I got the package did I find the age recommendation of 12 months in another review. The spaceship is about 4 inches wide at the base, 8 inches across with the wings, and 10 inches tall. The toys that go inside are about 2 inches tall. The star, small spaceship, and moon are about 2 inches across, and the dog and alien are almost 3 inches tall and maybe one inch across at the torso. While the toys would be hopefully easy to pull out if the baby started choking, the dog and alien especially may be worrisome. I think I keep the smaller toys for closely supervised play only.As other parents have said, the baby loves this toy set. My baby loves crinkles, and so the moon is great. The rattle star is also a great shape and size for his little hands to pick up. He loves the alien, even though it is the only small toy that does not make noise. It has plastic pellets in it, so it makes a very soft noise, but there isn't much room for the beads to shake. I think he loves the different, neon yellow-green color.
