My 1 yr old daughter got this as a birthday present from her papa, and its just great. She is a little young for all of the educational benefits of it, but we cant wait until shes old enough to play with it properly.
She loves looking at the animals, and is particularly fond of the little "bag of potatoes" - she'll carry it everywhere!
Each animal has a different number, and a different colour. The game can ask the child to put the animals in front of the farm according to either its animal sound, colour or number. So we've put it away in case she loses parts of it - we'll bring it out again when she's more ready for it. It can also speak in a variety of different languages - its just brilliant!
Its a very sturdy toy - our daughter has sat on it, and lay right across it, but it remained intact.
Well worth the money, but possibly more appropriate for 24-30mths, rather than the 18mths old suggested on the box.
