This is a great learning toy. Our grandson figured out how to hit the top of the drum and get it to say a letter or number right away. The noise is not that irritating for grandparents to hear, and it goes to sleep when not used, so it doesn't keep on going by itself. The little handle is a natural for toddlers to hold, and he holds the handle when he taps on the top of the drum. We, of course, clap and cheer. This was a great success. It was expensive, but worth it.
My 11 mos old Grandson loves this toy. He loves all the blinking lights, the letters and numbers, and the songs it sings.
She still enjoys playing this educational toy at the age of 2 1/2. I received this drum as a shower gift before my daughter was even born from an insightful mother of two. Even as a baby, my daughter enjoyed watching me play it and started to learn the reward of banging the drum herself. I am so impressed with the entire line of LeapFrog products. (We own many of them).
My kids have played with this toy for hours. A bit annoying for adults, it does have volume control. It's not very educational, but it's a TOY. Buy them a calculator if you want education.
The letters (or number) appear with each hit & the sound isn't too loud that it scares them. This is my #1 gift for all babies on my list. I even have fun playing it - they first hit it accidentally & get a reaction then the real fun begins. I've gotten rave reviews from everyone I've given it to. They even have a Spanish version.
