Purchased for my nearly two-years-old grandson, who can recognize some animals and the sounds they make. He loves it and is fascinated by it! He's learning even more while playing with it, and learning how to access the different buttons to make different sounds and play songs. He can remove it from his little easel to the floor himself, where he'll play with it for a good while! This toy will help him with developing his speech, vocabulary, word, sounds, and letter recognition--and it's fun to play with! It will also be age-appropriate as he grows and his knowledge increases. Very, very pleased with this purchase!
