My son received the v-tech spin and teach top for christmas last year when he was 5 months old. It seemed to be a great toy its made of sturdy colerful plastic. It has a red handle in the middle which you use to push down and it makes the toy spin. Round the edges of the top are numbers 1 to 4 these light up as the top goes round. Also on the top are four animals they are a lion, bear, elephant and a monkey. When the top is switched on if you touch these animals thay make sounds and play different tunes. The top requires 2x AA batteries to make it work. When you buy it its already fully assembled. My son really loves this toy and still plays with it a lot even though he is 14 months now. I would reccomend this toy for children of 6 months and above.
