This toy is best used with Velcro on the wall or similar. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. The intention was to get something fun yet educational for my one year old. However, this is a Flemsy product, making it unsuitable for a child who is just learning to walk or crawl to place it on the floor. It can be likened to a light berry colored rug that is easy to trip over. The product only has a volume that is loud.
