Baby Einstein Octoplush Musical Huggable Stuffed Animal Plush Toy, Learn Colors in 3 Languages, Blue, 11" Age 3 Month and up,

Soft and cute. Grandson loves it.

The Baby Einstein Octoplush was another birthday gift for my one-year grandson. It is a soft plush octopus and upon hugging or pressing the head, it plays pretty music. The velour legs have round colorful, satin patches designating a different color and a corresponding object, (red cherries, blue sky). Each leg will announce both the color and the object as each of the eight legs are lightly pressed, and the switch inside the battery compartment selects a different language, a choice of English, French, and Spanish. There are two sound volumes and an off switch, and for the adult, all the switches and power are easy to access within the closed compartment.My daughter-in-law states that she likes the Octoplush; the music is NOT too loud and actually enjoyable. This toy is professionally finished with nice even stitching, and no loose hanging threads. She was pleased that the Octoplush does NOT have the unpleasant smell of any fire retardant or other nasty odor.My grandson has had the Octoplush for four months and it is still one of his favorites, he understands the head plays music and it is very easy for him to him to press and operate. He holds the Octoplush and sways to the music in adorable dancing movements. This is a child-friendly educational toy, but due to my grandson’s young age, he does not intentionally use the language buttons on the legs. However, as he gets a little older, and understands more words, the Octoplush will provide some scholastic teaching as a fun learning tool.

Little boy was growing and was looking at toys to buy. He got a liking for the Little Einstein series, so we bought the octopus. It was a win in our household. He played with it for hours on end and even slept with it. Softness:soft, despite it having the sound box.Sound quality:great volume!

cute toy for baby! keeps them occupied, no lights but the sound is pretty

It's a great product, I must start saying. I bought this before my baby was born, now she's almost 2 months and for stimulating her senses (as the pedriatician encouraged us) is awesome! Since she's still too little, and obviously can't hold it for herself, I hold it at around 40 cms from her and push it to play the music : it plays music when you push either the eyes or the mouth. The tentacles are just a voice that says the colors indicated.She would look at it very still and even tried to touch it! :)Now the cons:- Must agree with other customers about the batteries: they last nothing! It came with a pair of 2AA and I barely tried it when I received it, and put it away till my baby was born. I just started using it and it already was failing to play music because of the batteries! So I don't know if they just put whatever brand batteries or it is an original failure or what... so i put on some new sony batteries, let's see if they work better and longer...- Must agree about the head: it is too heavy so the octopus never stands by itself like the picture shows, it actually always falls to a side, but i believe this is not so important since most of time i think this is a toy a kid would be holding , not puting awayOther than that I must say the music is great and relaxing and stimulating for babies, (not for sleep though), you can regulate volume on the back and also the thing about the languages is great! I don't agree with some other customer that said it wasn't clear. I'm a native spanish speaker and english is my second language, I also know a little french and I think I have the right to say the words (colors) are very well spelled and they're very clear also in the three languages. It is great for kids, I wanted my baby to learn about other languages very early and I'm totally sure it will work.If you asked me, I would recommend it. It is cheap, good material and with basic stuff little babies will love. :)

Cute safe educational and lovable octopus. My Grandbaby loves it.

I purchased this for my 4 month old god-daughter. It quickly became her new favorite along with her parents and mine. It plays a few songs and keeps her entertained while she waits for her bottle or during diaper changes. It is light weight and easy for the baby to grab and play with.It opens easily in the back with Velcro to change the languages from English, Spanish, and French along with the volume settings and the off switch to conserve battery life while not in use. The highest volume isn’t very loud and for me that was a benefit because I have encountered some toys that are extremely loud and quickly become obnoxious. We took it with us on a trip to the beach and she was able to enjoy the music and sounds.My only suggestion would be if the bottom of the tentacles were the color of the button in place of the yellow and orange music notes. Although she is not sitting up on her own yet it would be another visual stimulation and help learn the colors.All in all I am very pleased with this toy and would recommend it to families with bilingual or trilingual homes.

Very cute and a great leaning device
