LAMAZE - My First Fishbowl Toy, Capture Babys Curiosity with Sea Creatures to Rattle, Squeak and Collect with Colorful Patterns, Interesting Textures and Unique Sounds, 6 Months and Older

The contents never find their way back into this pretend fishbowl....other stuff winds up in there

Very Cute little toy! I got this as a Christmas present for my son who is almost 6 months old and he really enjoyed the different sounds the toys make. He hasnt quite mastered dumping things out, but he does like me to do it and laughs a lot when I do so its a fun toy for both of us to play with together. He is mainly eating the toys (hes teething). They are well made, have attractive colors, and are good to tote along to other places so he can play with them because they are easy to pack in his baby bag. Ill admit I was a bit sad the fishbowl didnt seem to have the water look to it that the supposedly older model toy did, but I would still highly recommend them as a staple toy for a child 5 months and up.

the fishbowl is adorable but my granddaughter did not stay interested for long. She is 7 months and I think it was a little too advanced for her. She did not even try to put the sea critters in the fishbowl--all she did was put them in her mouth. Her mother put it away and will try again when she is a little older.

This is a cute product but definitely not as cool as what is pictured and described. There is no trapped water; the sides are just plain plastic. I ended up returning it because without the water-trapped sides I felt it was pretty overpriced.

This was a gift for my 6-month old and he is almost 1 now and still loves it! He has so many toys but he got this for Christmas and loved playing with it from Day 1. The yellow fish rattles, the clam squeaks when you squeeze it, the crab is crinkly and the starfish rattles as well. Now he likes taking the fish out, putting them back in, taking them out, putting OTHER things in the bowl... Its great!

This is a very cute toy with different sounds and textures for baby to explore. My kid never understood the in and out concept. Even now that shes 2 she pretends she drinking the water from the bowl rather than putting the toys in and out.

I bought this toy for my new baby because I was afraid that my 3 year old daughter would claim all of the existing baby toys as hers. As it turns out, I was right. Now when she asks, Mommy, was this my toy when I was a baby? I can honestly answer, no. This way the toy can actually stay in the hands of the baby. I do find shopping for infant toys a bit overwhelming. There are skills the toys are supposed to teach, but rarely do they just promise fun. For my 6 month old I didnt want something that was going to help her get into an Ivy League school. I just wanted something that she would play with. And babies, fickle creatures that they are, can be completely unpredictable when it comes to finding something to hold their interest. At 6 months of age, my baby had zero interest in this toy. Id shake the fish, shed smile and then turn away. Now that shes 9 months shes showing a bit more interest. The sorting is not really sorting in the traditional sense of putting the square object through the square hole. Its more pre-sorting. Put the fish in the bowl and take them out. No worries about which shape to shove the item through or having fine enough motor skills to get there. The fishbowl is made of a well padded fabric base with cardboard in the bottom to make it stand, narrow sides made of fabric, and a fabric rim. The wide sides are made of plastic. Floating in the water are several sea creatures. The creatures are all smiling. Clearly they have no clue about what babies do to toys. The stiff sides coupled with the soft fabric sides cause the fishbowl to collapse closed to the point where there is no way that my baby can put the sea creature toys into the bowl. Taking them out is no problem at all. The collapsing bowl isnt so much a problem for my baby because the preschooler has claimed the fishbowl as her purse and she carries it around with all of her toy cars inside. Hmm...dont want the baby pulling those out! The included plush sea creatures are cute and my daughter plays with all of them. The starfish rattle is grasped by two of his pointy legs and one of his five legs or his happy face are stuffed into the babys mouth for some serious sucking and slobbering. (Dont call the authorities, the baby is the one doing the stuffing!) Starfish comes out of babys mouth with the same silly grin he had when he went in. His face has a nice satiny texture. The fish rattle has two side fins, a dorsal fin, and a tail that are all grasp-worthy. His face ends up with the majority of baby slobber. He has a soft, satiny face and his rattle has a slight bell sound to it. The terry cloth clam squeaker is a bit bulky for baby to grab, but luckily his shell flares out a bit around his face giving him two handles for grabbing. We havent quite figured out the best way to suck on this one, so mostly his backside gets a good gumming. Crinkle crab is, perhaps, the easiest to chew. The claws on his sides are easy to grab and when you chew on him he makes an awesome crinkling sound. The crinkliness makes him a bit easier to chew and he the feedback on your chewing is quite fun. I put all kinds of baby friendly toys out for the 9 month old, but she will crawl across the room to find the pebble that got tracked into the house or the tiny Barbie shoe that the 3 year old dropped. She does occasionally select one of the sea creatures on her own for an afternoon snack. And I hope that as she continues to grow that she will use this toy for its intended purpose--learning to put her things away!

7 month old loves this toy! She mainly loves putting all the parts in her mouth.

This was pretty disappointing. The starfish was over stuffed and the stitching was pulling out. The other 3 critters seem fine, but right out of the package we had to toss one.

cute and variety of fun tactile experiences, good for hand/ eye coordination. My sons both like to play with it.
