I like that we can touch a pic and the whistles will play a matching tune, uninterrupted by tot pressing other whistles. And yet, as a bonus, the whistles they touch also sound during song playback. There is also free play on one octave.
Sometimes the puzzle pieces dont snap in place as easily as others, adding difficulty for tots. Small skinny pieces must be almost all the way in place to accept. Bigger ones are accepted with greater distance. Track curves that should fit on any curve in that position wont be accepted if they overlap straights which were not available in piece choices for first several moves. Somewhat frustrating.
Hate that touching letters doesnt produce anything...should say name or preferably phonetic sound. Phonics trump letter names...how can a tot learn to read "cow" if told "see-oh-double-U"?
