“Gah!” – My daughter Ellie
Skip Hop Farmstand Let the Beet Drop DJ Activity Play Toy
I’m not being paid for this review either. I’m going to write it anyway. 😜
This toy is available from Target, Amazon, Wal-Mart — all the usual suspects.
I got it on Facebook Marketplace in a lot of three toys for $10.00.
Apparently I am not up to date on the trendy color schemes of the day, because the color scheme of this toy made me think it was from the 60s or 70s. But, lo and behold, it is a modern, currently available toy.
This toy is kind of random. It’s a bunny DJ in a vegetable field. But it’s adorable and we love it.
Here’s why:
This is the first toy we got for our daughter that has buttons to push, lights, and music. Maybe the timing was just right and it was a coincidence, but it does seem that it has encouraged her to interact more with her toys.
That being said, some of the buttons are hard to push for a four month old. I don’t consider that a meh! feature though, because the little ball and record thing spins very easily and she can work her way up to the harder-to-push buttons (the bunny itself is the most difficult).
The music is fun, and not grating. It doesn’t make me feel crazy to hear it over and over again.
Relatedly, there are different music and sounds combinations, so it’s not just the same thing over and over. I think there are four different songs that can play when you push the bunny, and for each song, there are different sounds that the two carrots and the lettuce record spinner make.
The four buttons in the left corner always make the same sounds.
The blue knob on the right doesn’t appear to have any electronic aspects, and it is hard to push around, but apparently it looks very grab-able because my daughter is interested in it, though she can’t do anything with it yet.
Two final yay! features are that it takes standard AA batteries, three of them, and it has two sound levels.
It’s a win.
