This was reviewed by a new mom and several of her friends kids.  The seven month old was intrigued by all the little items that he could put in his mouth - like the mail.  He also liked the colors and sounds.  The two-year-old that played with it though really used it for all of it's bells and whistles.  He loved crawling in and out of the door and getting the responses from the buttons he pressed.  "It's easy to see why this is an award winning toy" says our tester.  "This is fabulous!"

IQ Baby My-Oh-My-Octopi (Small World Toys)
The giant purple octopus is large and sturdy enough for our 4-month old tester to lean against. According to his mother, "I can wrap some of the tentacles around and he touches or studies the pockets, mirrors, beads and teethers. The underside of the octopus is covered in different patterns, some black and white and some colored. What really gives this toy a boost is the baby octopus puppet that comes along with the big one. An adult can wear the puppet on one hand and mesmerize a tiny baby with the moveable tentacles. Although this is an expensive toy, I think it is worth the investment because of its versatility. At 4 months my son is just starting to enjoy the large octopus, but the baby puppet has been intriguing him for much longer." Ages Newborn to 36 months, $70.00
