We gave this to my daughter for her 1st birthday and she LOVED it. It was the perfect gift for her developmental stage. She favored it over all her other gifts (and other toys) and spent long sessions playing with it daily. She's 15 months now, and still loves playing with it. This is a great bang for your buck toy. The balls are just the right size for her hand, and loves those on their own (she has many balls, but favors these). She's always carrying them around the house. Pushing the balls through the holes is really fun to her. You have to push just a little to get them to go through, it's a good challenge, but it never frustrates her. She always claps when they go in. The xylophone tinkling as it rolls down is very satisfying. It's also fun on it's own to make music. Then the hammer option is another element that she thinks is fun. All these things help her develop her motor movements. It's a smart toy. It combines the Montessori ball drop, music, hammer, etc. Can't say enough great things about this toy. Quality is fabulous and it looks nice. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. (My mom's dog chewed up one of the balls, but we were able to order a replacement set that fit perfect from Hape.)
