...This was the second musical toy my kid had when she was around 2 months. I got this from my cousin, as her kids were too old enough to play with. So I did not pay for it. My daughter got used to the toy and played well when she was around 2 and half months old. Before that she used to just see the toy, may be the colors or pictures might have caught her attention.

...be used as a learning curve, if they want to have the play-doh out they have to remember to clean it up after! Play doh is non toxic and washes off hands and surfaces easily, however getting it off clothes and carpets is a different matter so I recommend overalls and either cover the carpet or let them use it in the kitchen or outside.
