Baby Einstein Octoplush Musical Huggable Stuffed Animal Plush Toy, Learn Colors in 3 Languages, Blue, 11" Age 3 Month and up,

The Baby Einstein Octoplush was another birthday gift for my one-year grandson. It is a soft plush octopus and upon hugging or pressing the head, it plays pretty music. The velour legs have round colorful, satin patches designating a different color and a corresponding object, (red cherries, blue sky). Each leg will announce both the color and the object as each of the eight legs are lightly pressed, and the switch inside the battery compartment selects a different language, a choice of English, French, and Spanish. There are two sound volumes and an off switch, and for the adult, all the switches and power are easy to access within the closed compartment. My daughter-in-law states that she likes the Octoplush; the music is NOT too loud and actually enjoyable. This toy is professionally finished with nice even stitching, and no loose hanging threads. She was pleased that the Octoplush does NOT have the unpleasant smell of any fire retardant or other nasty odor. My grandson has had the Octoplush for four months and it is still one of his favorites, he understands the head plays music and it is very easy for him to him to press and operate. He holds the Octoplush and sways to the music in adorable dancing movements. This is a child-friendly educational toy, but due to my grandson’s young age, he does not intentionally use the language buttons on the legs. However, as he gets a little older, and understands more words, the Octoplush will provide some scholastic teaching as a fun learning tool.

I purchased this baby Einstein Octopus musical plush for my best friends baby. I personally think it's adorable and fits perfectly if you're theme for the baby is nautical. It speaks 3 languages with a switch on the battery pack and has a volume control on it which I think is an amazing feature to have. The Octopus plays multiple songs when you press its head and has press points on each tenticle to tell you which color they are pressing. My friend loves it as well. The baby hasn't arrived yet to give his feedback but I'm sure he will love it as well.

I have purchased my daughter many toys since her birth, but this littl guy still remains one of her true favorites. Soft, easy to hold, and extremely educational, Mr. Squigglies as he is affectionaly called in our home, continues to keep my daughter entertained with its music, and now that she can squeeze harder, pressing down on the buttons to listen to it give out colors in three different languages. She also enjoys just holding it close, or her favorite thing to do, baby talk to it in high pitched squeals of delight. My fiance and I love this so much, I purchased the hanging one for the car, just so he is along for the ride. Bythway, someone in a review had mentioned the language setting for spanish did not sound so good, not true. The words for Spanish, as well as French, as prounced with exacting clarity. Both languages voice appear to be done by the same person, accept for the Engish one, which is a different voice and different tone. Sadly, one of her little cousins got their hands on it and damaged the purple leg, but that is ok. If need be, i will have no problem buying her a new one. This one is a winnnr folks!! one of the company's buried treasures amongst so many toys in their line. Don't pass it up!!

I write this review mainly to respond to some people's concern that the French audio doesn't sound like actual French. Well, I am not sure if these reviewers are talking about the same version of the toy, but our octoplush speaks French well enough, especially for a baby. Yes, it is muffled at times, as the English and Spanish audio recordings are, because that's what they are: recordings. But that has nothing to do with the accent! I am sure that the French audio doesn't sound any worse for a French person than the English would sound to an American. Of course, it doesn't sound like a French person, because it is a toy, but IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE A FRENCH TOY WOULD! Take it from a person who was born in France, spend the first 25 years of her life in France, studied and earned a PhD in Paris, and not from people who 'learned a little French back in high school, never went to France but knows for sure the accent is bad'. Actually my family who spent all their lives in France feel the same and love this toy, too. So if what holds you back from getting this toy is the fact that you are not sure if your baby will be able to learn foreign words for colors, don't be afraid and get it! Please note however that I am talking about our unit (which makes our daughter very happy) that we acquired about 6 months ago, which may or may not be different than the first version; I don't know if they improved the toy ever since the first reviews claiming that the French is horrible were written, but the newest version is fine with us!

Cute

Christmas present for nephew, he loves it. Very stimulating .

Mi nieta lo adora. Cargable, lavable, se divierte, juega y aprende. Buen precio. Recomendado.

Great for tummy time. Music is nice. Great to use to help babies track movement.

This toy does not have on/off button and it needs a designated space for the night, otherwise if you are accidentally bump into it the party will start while baby is asleep

Estupendo regalo para bebés de hasta 3 años

My twin boys loved this, its educational with colours in 3 languages and the boys loved the music, its soft and gwntke, not too loud.

Segundo os pais do meu neto o nenê gostou do brinquedo.

Molto resistente e ben fatto. Colorato,con tanti suoni e musichette,al bimbo è piaciuto tantissimo! Penso proprio che acquisterò altri giochini della Baby Einstein.
