Tomy Do Rae Me Dolphins Bath Toys

Tomy Do Rae Me Dolphins Bath Toys

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Bright, fun and appealing, Tomy's Do Rae Me Dolphins can make bath time go with a song.

Each dolphin fits into a similar coloured ring, and once afloat, a tap on every head sounds a different note. Once the dolphins are clicked together in order (they are numbered one to 10) little hands can play their first scale.

Fun and musical, the dolphins also have educational value. As well as introducing children to pitch and scales, matching the dolphins to their rings can aid colour recognition and linking them in order helps counting.

As simple bathtime toys, the Do Rae Me Dolphins are great fun. Though they may not quite produce a symphony, each time little hands hit the dolphins, they will be rewarded with a note. Producing a full scale or a tune of any meaning is probably beyond the capability of the target age range, but toddlers will still enjoy the dolphins for their bright, stimulating and ultimately noisy qualities. One tip for mum or dad: the dolphins don't come with a bag or box and are difficult to store once they are out of the cardboard, so it would definitely be worth investing in a storage container or some kind. --Lucie Naylor

Product Description
Each bathtime dolphin plays a different music note from an octave when you tap them on their heads. Make up your own songs, colour match them into their floating rings, play with them in a circle, in a line, or separately.

3.0 out of 5 stars Whistling, watery fun, 6 Sep 2001
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
These toys are still played with by my children, but not really as intended. There are a few problems I found with them--the rings don't clip together very well, and always come lose. Also, the dolphins, if they get water in their whistle-hole, have to be dried before they will whistle. They work by being half-immersed in water, which forces air out through the hold on the top of their heads, which makes them whistle. There are also lots of pieces, so you will need a bag or something to store them in.

That said, they are fun to float in the bath without being attached to the others, and now my children are older and have enough breath to blow properly, they do like making them whistle. This toy doesn't quite do what it claims, but it still is fun, and there's not really anything else like it on the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars Was this toy ever tested before being put on the market!?, 17 April 2006
By Danielle Duvoisin (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was compelled, by the incredibly poor design of this toy, to write this review - my first ever. The rings don't stay together, the dolphins don't make their sound consistently, and when they do it's nothing to write home about. It's truly one of the worst designs I've ever come across and I have to wonder if it was ever tested before putting on the market.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!, 28 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
My son got this toy as a present and we were both excited to try it as it promised much... however, he rarely asks to have it in the bath as we both found that neither of us could make it work properly and we would both end up getting frustrated by it. It also takes up an inordinate amount of space!
