Sassy Bop-A-Tune Musical Drum Early Learning Toy | Promotes STEM Learning | 8 Different Sounds and Textures | Ages 6 Months and up

Bought this toy for my 8 month old twin granddaughters and they love it. They even love turning it upside down and banging on the back to make the squeaky noises!

My 1 year old granddaughter enjoys this toy. I like it because it is simple, colorful, and fun. No batteries and well made.

I’m writing this review so that other parents who are thinking of buying this toy can get an idea what it’s like in person, since there are currently no other reviews or videos out there.When I first decided to buy this toy I went by the description that claimed the 8 bellows play a full octave and took that to mean that they must emit some sort of accordion notes. That’s the sound that I imagined and it made sense to me when I looked at the bellows. I was so disappointed when the toy arrived and I discovered that it didn’t play anything remotely resembling musical notes. The bellows just squeak, that’s all. Very loudly and annoyingly. Seriously, the sound that comes out of them is so shrill and squeaky and awful and wouldn’t encourage any baby to press again!This toy is marketed as a stem toy and that drew me more to it because I did imagine baby pressing the different bellows, emitting beautiful accordion tones and thereby creating accidentally lovely melodies, which would stimulate their brain. It’s like an interesting little instrument. But what I got instead was such awful noise that I don’t see any value in this toy anymore. I would strongly discourage anyone from buying this. Not if you value your ears, your child’s ears and would like to impart good taste on your child!Now, I don’t think Sassy should entirely get rid of this toy...I think that with one or two crucial changes it can be amazing! Here are a couple of pros that I found about it (not enough to offset the horrible noise but still something positive):-the different textures on the bellows was a nice touch to give the baby different sensory input-the colors are bright and cheerfulI really urge Sassy to develop this toy so that each bellows plays a lovely accordion note, truly forming a full octave as they claim. (I’m beginning to wonder if it’s actually already supposed to do this and I got a bad one or if they’re all like mine, but in all cases, yeah, please make it play nice accordion notes). It would also be nice if you made is spin-able (kind of like a lazy Susan haha), so the center would spin whenever baby rotated it, which would add more stimulation to it.

Bought this for my dtr with cerebral palsy, thought it played music , guess I didn’t do my homework! Ok for a typical child in the age group.

Perfect!

I got this at BuyBuyBaby and my little one is in love with it!

I was expecting much more out of the drum toy seeing that it was close to $20....the sounds it makes are just little squeaky horns and you have to hit them pretty hard to make any sound. My 8 month old is not impressed. Would be better if it had suction cups on the bottom for the high chair. It looks like there is a place for them on the back of the toy. I really like the sassy company, which is why I bought without reading many reviews. Wish I had delved in a little deeper! Don’t waste your money...

Had this for about two months. My baby is 8 months old and I thought this was a great toy. My baby seem to enjoy playing with it but then today as my baby was playing with the toy, I noticed a SCREW sticking out and one of the tops had fallen off. Super scary and dangerous. Threw the toy away. Poor and dangerous design!!!!
