What owners single out
In their words
“Our one year old loves this toy. He loves to pop the pieces back and forth and chewing on it. In fact- we all do! The popping is addicting! Seems very durable. Very happy with purchase.”

“This is not the first time I have purchased Fat Brain toys. I choose Fat Brain because I trust the quality of toys. My baby likes to bite toys. But this item is completely fake. It is not packaged by Fat Brain, and there is no Fat Brain logo on it. Walmart should check the seller's qualifications before they post their products online. I waited for 10 days but received fakes. So upset and angry.”
