Advantages: 6 different rhymes and music. Things to do on the cube. Entertaining for babies as well as toddler

Disadvantages: Songs get stuck in your head!

This toy is a soft cube which has a different picture, rhyme and music for each side. It is suitable from birth and now my little chap is 2 months old he is loving the bright colours and the tunes make him giggle (although that could be me singing along - be warned the tunes get stuck in your head and I sometimes find myself singing them without realising!!).

The cube is battery operated and there are two volume settings. The batteries seem to be lasting a long time, I have not had to change them yet.

The cube works by, when it is rolled, whichever side lands upwards the rhyme or music for that side of the cube will play, depending on what setting you have it on.

The different sides are as follows:

Yellow Lion in the African Sun - has a picture of a lion who has a crinkly mane. This side also has on it the on/off button as well as two buttons, one for rhymes and one for music. If you press the music button it will just play a different tune for each side of the cube, no singing.

White Polar Bear in the icy snow - on this side there is a polar bear which can be slid backwards and forwards along a strap.

Green Leaves/Peekaboo Parrott - This side is made up of 2 felt leaves that are velcroed together in the middle and when you open them there is a picture of a parrott.

Shiny Moon - This side has a moon shaped mirror on it.

Blue fish - The scales of the fish on this side are shiny.

Red Fox - on this side is a red fox half hidden in a pocket whivh can be pulled in and out on a strap. This side has the opening for the batteries which is closed with velcro.

You can pick up these cubes for around £10 is Toys R Us and Woolworths amongst other shops and I think this is really good value for money.

Summary: A great value for money toy for babies and toddlers
