We've had this toy since our son was born as I'm a Lamaze Toys fan (love the colors and shapes and different textures). At first, we would stand it next to him (with B&W side) when he was on his back and then it would help motivate him to lift his head up when he was older and playing on his tummy. The black and white side is great for young babies and the colourful side more attractive for older babies. The shapes all have different noises (which I think is not too loud) which attracts attention and then the babies can distinguish the pieces. The rattles are the best, the squeaky one is not too valuable, as baby can't do that yet.
The toy grows well with the baby as eventually they can put the different shapes in their respective place and learn shapes and puzzle-making. It's a go to toy in this house. I like the fact that it's soft, so easy to mouth, but also transitions with the different stages of development that the baby grows into. We however don't agree in putting it in the crib, as like with any other toy, there are suffocation risks (look up the government of Canada's website about leaving the crib COMPLETELY empty). We really just knotted the strings or you can cut them off (probably safer). Besides that, our little one really enjoys it.
Thanks for reading!
