My nephew really loves this toy and all the songs. The flashing lights really gets his attention and he always smiles back just looking at it. The toy kind of looks like him. Especially the hair on top.

Perfect gift for toddlers! Educational and fun music plus a cuddly puppy. My grandson absolutely loves it!

This purchase is a gift for our little baby Grandson for his first birthday in December. It is a cuddly puppy which he will love to hold. It teaches songs, words, the alphabet, counting, and words by pressing on various parts of the puppy and a human verbal recorded response teaches these important aspects of a 6 month old baby to age three learning. It is an excellent educational toy which we know are Grandson will cuddle and enjoy all of the learning aspects of this puppy! Highly recommended!!!! Quality of puppy is very good!

Great development toy! I was very excited to see this toy at such a good price. I had bought one for a friends baby and now buying one for my grandson. It keeps his attention. Happy grandma!!

The cutest little educational toy that is sure to keep you little one intruiged with the bright light, colors, and sounds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Laugh and Learn Smart Stages puppy is a good toy for kids up to ages 3 or so with lots of interesting lights, sounds, and songs during play. A five year old boy did not have much interest in it, but a not-quite 3 year old girl loved it for the first few days before moving it into the normal rotation with other toys. I think the intent is to be able to learn some of the colors and words associated with it, which it may work for with some kids, but our daughter mostly just enjoyed the songs and lights, especially in bed at night where they were the brightest. However, she may be 6-8 months past the prime age for learning from this particular toy, since she already knows most of the body parts and colors. The design is really great and has lots of colors while still being tasteful and endearing. Quality, construction, and durability are all really great, and I imagine it will last for as long as we want it and then happily gift to another little one who will get years more out of it. Washing might be a concern, but the few things we have gotten on it have rubbed off with a mildly wet soapy cloth Usability is really good and the squeezable and interactive elements all activate reliably during use, so there is not much frustrating searching and poking to activate features. Batteries are easily accessible and likely wont need to be changed often if ever. Volume is reasonable and level of annoyance for parents is not bad when compared to other singing/musical toys. Overall a really solid if not stellar toy. It may not be your little one's prized possession, since its primary features are not really snuggle-based, but it will definitely be an occasional or frequent play toy for as many years as you want it.
