Fisher-Price Smart Stages Piggy Bank: Laugh, Learn, and Enjoy Playtime while Learning! Review

This toy is a joke. He is NOT bilingual. It's all in English. With only one take (Level 2) where the pig speaks the number in English and then in Spanish. That's all. That's all. It cannot be called a bilingual toy. The bilingual toys have a full Spanish setting with no English. This pig only speaks English and spits out very poorly pronounced Spanish numbers that the baby cannot understand. I returned it immediately. Note: Even if I wasn't interested in bilingualism, English wouldn't help the…

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and I love this toy! In addition to using it in my practice, I recently bought it for my little niece. This toy helps develop fine motor skills including but not limited to hand-eye coordination, dexterity, bilateral coordination, motor planning, visual perception skills, color identification and sorting, counting, problem solving, cause and effect and more! It is also a toy that can grow with the child. Babies can start playing with it to learn how to…

I remembered my daughter loved this toy when we were visiting family so I bought it for our house. However, this is not the same model, the extended family has an older version. He's still cute, still counting coins and singing songs, but the change might be related to our problem. The main problem is that after half a year the battery, speakers or something else started to wear out, and now the voice comes out of this cute piggy slower, deeper and a thousand times worse. If we leave it alone…

Bought this toy as we previously had one for my first child. The first one was great so we decided to buy one for my 1 year old, one volume control and it's very quiet maybe too quiet. It also sounds a bit muffled. It could have been great if others did, but for us we had to turn the TV off or off so my son could hear the toys. Never had any problems with the first one. They're not as finished as they used to be, the stickers (on and off button) are almost peeling off and we've had them for 2…

Bought for our galley for the first birthday. It is really nice. He currently likes to put things inside other things and I thought this would be perfect. But he is not skilled enough to get the coin in the right position for it to enter the slot. But he knows where the coin is going, and over time he will figure out how to make it work. At the same time, he likes to open and close the "door", and he takes coins or puts them back through this door. The songs and phrases the pig says are very…

This is a gift for my nephew when he was 1 year old. an enthusiastic voice but my nephew really liked it. Back then, inserting coins into the piggy bank slot was a big challenge for his fine motor skills. He also enjoyed opening the main compartment, taking coins out and putting them back in. We took this on a 10+ hour trip and it helped keep it busy most of the time. Of course, the coins then fell to the other side of his car seat where we couldn't get them, but it's worth noting that we all…

So I thought about getting this stupid pig for five months and finally broke down and got it. I don't know why I didn't get it sooner, it's a great item. It's nice that I've waited long enough to get the 'new' version, although I'm not sure what actually changed. My daughter is 18 months but has special needs and has global delays. I've read several websites and blogs that recommend this to help with fine motor skills. Watching my daughter diligently put coins into this pig, I can say with…

THE BEST 1st Birthday gift ever! My daughter got this for her first birthday last month. Even after 5 weeks she still loves him. I was surprised that she understood everything in less than 24 hours. Pros * Perfect size for my little 1 year old but still big enough for older kids. My 3 year old niece loved it too!* Holds my daughter's attention longer than anything else.* Long lasting! Our pig has been kicked, thrown and dropped every day for over a month now. 100% sticks, even the door.* Easy…
