 Never thought...Oct 10, 2007
By K. Glazier
"Amazed!"
When I looked at the picture, before I bought this toy, I thought WOW what a great toy...look at all it does. Then, when I got it, it was just OK. It wasn't really what I thought it would be, including its size. But...wow, was I surprised...my daughter (10 months old) loved it...and still does. She has found ways to play with it that I never would have thought of (they always seem to do that!). Now, whenever it is around, she goes right for it. Even though children at her age get board quickly with toys and move on to other things, this is one toy she actually spends time with. So, overall, it am very pleased. It ended up to be a great purchase!

Does SO much!Nov 28, 2007
By J. Evans
this may look simple in the picture but there is truly so much to do. There are two different modes, toddler and baby, which you activate by turning the green part on the top to hide the number or reveal them. In baby mode they can drop the brightling playpals in through the top and they come to the bottom which triggers the toy to sing. mostly everything you do triggers a song, except for the open/close gate and the yellow/blue/red tags you pull. in toddler mode when you opne/close the gate it will tell you how to say hello and goodbye in german, french, japanese, spanish, and english. you can move the tab around the abcs so it sings the abc song. then it will sing numerb when you drop the pals into the chute. this really is an "exploration station" my daughter is constantly finding new little things on this that trigger her interest and excitement to explore!

 fun toy - only a couple of flawsApr 22, 2008
By D. Aiken
My son received this toy for Christmas, when he was 6 mos old. He was very interested in exploring all the features. He now 10 mos and still loves to pull on the ribbons, spin the rainbow spinner, and push on the singing Brightlings. The sound mixing on the music setting is even fun for adults. This is a great toy to teach cause and effect. One flaw is that it isn't very stable. My son and a friend of his easily pull it over on themselves. Also, we had to pull off the flowers, because they are spring loaded and when my son pushed on them, they sprung back and hit him in the face hard, making him cry. They are not easily removed so we broke them off. Also, it would be nice if there were a place to keep the balls.

Brightlings ReviewJan 04, 2008
By K. And T. Jones
LeapFrog Brightlings Exploration Station
I wasn't as impressed with this toy as I thought I would be from the description and reviews. My 18 month old "explored" this toy in about three minutes and was bored. When I actually sat down on the floor and played with her, she became more engaged and had fun placing the people in the stack, but it's not long enough to create much lasting interest for a bright kid. It is still an interesting toy, but I expected more from Leapfrog - whose educational toys usually are superb.

Awesome toy - my son's favoriteNov 05, 2008
By RLL
"Mom of 1 wild baby boy"
Short version:
PROS
1. songs are not annoying! (and if you do get annoyed, you can change to music only mode so there's no more singing)
2. introduces languages, alphabet, counting, colors, cause and effect, you name it
3. will keep your baby's interest as he/she learns how to manipulate all the different components
4. after daily use for 4 months, we STILL haven't had to replace batteries!
CONS
1. my son has pulled it over on top of himself and that hurts
2. you may lose the little brightlings balls that come with it
Long Version:
We bought this toy for my son when he was just 4 or 5 months old. At first he could only bat at the little flowers on the side, but when he started sitting up he quickly learned to pull the handle to make the rainbow-colored disc spin. The song that plays is really cute too. Now he is 8 months old and he has learned to open and close the door, move the alphabet slider, push and pull the brightling characters (sometimes), and pull the colored ribbons. With each action there is a unique song or sound, which keeps it entertaining for him and keeps it from being annoying for my husband and I. I especially love how the door says "hello" and "good-bye" in english, spanish, french, german, and japanese....what a great way to introduce languages! This toy is truly awesome and keeps my son's attention for 5 to 20 minutes at a time (depending on his mood, lol)....he used to sit and play with it even longer, but he is learning to crawl now. The best part is that there is still more for him to discover, because he has not learned about putting the brightlings balls down the chute yet and he only sometimes by accident will push or pull the brightlings attached to the base, causing them to sing. We will definitely be keeping this toy for the next baby.
