My twin boys are 4 months old and just starting to get interested in toys. I'm curious how long they will remain interested in these toys and if it is meant for babies much older than 4 months?

My son still enjoys his at 8 1/2 months. Just using the blankets and toys starting about a week ago but he still likes playing with the toys a lot.

I would say 18-36 months? I would think that even 12-16 month old children would have fun exploring this too. It just takes a little fine motor control so that could be difficult for the younger child. Hope this helps.

Most definitely. I would think that's the perfect age. I have two and my granddaughter is only 16 months. Hardly old enough to hand them to her as a toy. But she giggles at them when I hold her on my lap and we play with them. She definitely has it figured out how to feed the little guys! EDITED: to say: After reading the comment left by CandaceMacan24 , I may agree that 5 and above may even be a better age group than 4 - she makes some good points. Depends on the kid. As a side note, My 16 month old GD isn't scared by it.

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

Our little grandson started using his at 5 months, but I think he is more interested in it and can sit up well enough at 6 months to really enjoy it. I would say that 6 months would be a good age (depending on the development of the child) to introduce this product.

I use it when working with 2 year olds. All my kids absolutely love it. If you want to sit with them to work on sharing, one is enough. However if you want them so your twins can play independently and enjoy the toy you may want two. I hope that helps!!

Hi. Sorry it took so long to respond. I would say, based on my experience, that this "toy" is perfect for three to six year olds. I always have a lot of kids at the house and those younger than three and older than six never seem to gravitate towards it. Hope this helps.

My toddlers love them, as do their cousins (ages 4-8), as does my husband! I think there is a very broad age range for this toy.

It probably depends how big they are. My 4-year-old enjoys it... and he's not a big kid!

I think they can start any time. We bought ours when he was between 6 and 8 weeks old. He loved the piano part the most at that time and now at 4 months the hanging toys are starting to interest him. Babies probably won't enjoy the mat until they are at least 5 or 6 weeks old though.

My grandbaby is nine months old and plays with the toy now. Couldn't just give it to him to hold before because he would "konk" himself in the face with it. I would suggest at least nine to ten months old and I suspect they would play with it for a very long time. Prior to the baby's ability to hold the toy safely, you can just place it close by and play the music for him or her. Exposure to good music is always a positive thing and good for baby's developing brain.

I believe on all Fisher-Price Laugh&Learn; products stands 6-36 months, not neccessarily means that it's from 6-36 months but wanting to say that can be used for a long time and played on many different ways. I have 4,6 years old and 11 month old baby, and they both love it :) Younger one is not yet putting coins in himself, but if I place it on the opening, he will push it down.. he will take it from the piggy if I open the 'window' thingie, and he will enyoy the music. And he will walk around with coins in his mouth and chew on them, of course :) Older one is very creative in playing :) Another great toy from Fisher Price :) I believe on all Fisher-Price Laugh&Learn; products stands 6-36 months, not neccessarily means that it's from 6-36 months but wanting to say that can be used for a long time and played on many different ways.

We purchased these several months ago, my son is 1 1/2 now and just started really getting into them. Could depend on the child, and particular interests, but I would say at least 1 year +

I would say yes they are a great item for that age group just be sure to order an extra or two one of ours broke with in min or had a hole in it from the begining, but we still have a few around the house that have been going strong for a few months now so I think it may have just been a fluke with that one but be sure to have an extra one or two just in case as preschoolers are not going to understand it if they got the one in a hundred that is junk and there is no replacement.

I have some 4 yr. olds in my class, but some need some guidance in what to do with them. Some 5 yr. olds just "get" it, and build all kinds of things. I love magnets, so I think older kids would love these also, they are super strong, and fun to build with.

We've had them for almost a year now, not too long but awhile. My kids (2 &5) find some way to play with them a few times a week, not quite daily. They still get a lot of use and in many different ways. I highly recommend them. (They are very durable also. Still look and play like new!)
