Great for toddlers!
My son will spend hours pressing the buttons on this toy and watching the animals pop up. It is also a great activity for those motor skills!

Pop'n'Pals
This was purchased for my 6-month old grandson. He isn't quite able to work everything yet but it's a great toy and he loves it when the heads pop out.

Even my 2.5 year old still loves it!
We have the lime green version of this toy and it's a big hit around here. I was actually kind of surprised, considering my girls usually go gaga for the electronic, singing toys, but they both love this. It was one of the first toys my younger daughter could manipulate on her own. It's great for teaching some of those finer motor skills. The button pop-up is their favorite because it squeaks when you press it. My one complaint is that the twist key-type one has to be turned a little more after the animal pops up to get it to go back down again and the girls don't really understand that concept just yet. I don't know if that's a quirk specific to our toy, though. So if you're looking for a cute, durable toy that doesn't require batteries, you are in the right place!

Poorly made, hard to operate
This is the type of "cause and effect" toy often recommended for babies around 6 mos. The problem is that the buttons, knobs, etc. require FAR more strength than a baby this age can manage which is extremely frustrating for the baby. In addition, one of the levers on my daughter's toy does not "catch" and the door will not close unless you fiddle with it. Since her only enjoyment is closing the doors (once I've opened them) having one door NOT close after repeated tries is also confusing and discouraging. I'm sorry I bought this.

I wouldn't buy it if I could do it over
This was a disappointing purchase. It really isn't all that interesting after the first couple of minutes. My child didn't seem very interested after our initial play session with it. If I had it to do over, I would pass on this.

opens with a bang!
I think my daughter was able to move most of the levers when I first showed it to her, around 4 months, but the loud snap as the animals popped up made her wince each time, so it didn't really encourage her to play and we actually put it away for a long stretch. Now she's 8 months and the colors draw her, but again she finds it too loud, even turning half away in anticipation when she sees me about to demonstrate one of the gizmos. She enjoys pushing all of the heads back down (even loudly with banging), but I fear she may have already learned to avoid really working this toy...

Great toy with lasting power
My three kids, 3 yr old and 18 mos. old twins all love this toy. They go back to it time and time again. My little ones love opening and closing the doors. They will sit with this toy for long periods of time. This is a must have in a toddler toy collection.

daughter enjoys
my daughter is 15 months old and has enjoyed this toy since she was 9 months old. It just seems to never get old to pop open the animal characters and close them up agian just to pop them open again. but she loves it.

fun toy
My son enjoys opening and closing the doors on this toy. It is a nice toy that helps with his fine motor coordination.

Could've been easier to work
Somebody bought this toy for my daughter's 1st birthday (only it's yellow, not white). It's an okay toy, but the switches and knobs are really hard to push/turn. She is only able to get the blue #3 animal to pop since the button is easy to push. The one that looks like a key is hard to turn, and if you turn it and the animal pops up, you have to turn the key more to get the lid to close. The other switches are really hard to push/pull. My daughter tries to push the other buttons, but it takes a lot of strength to push them.
