Bright Starts Cluck and Learn Barn™

We were chosen to review the Bright Starts Cluck and Learn Barn™.

This adorable toy is part of Bright Starts' new collection of toys called, "Having a Ball."  This toy comes with four balls that can be popped into the top of the chicken or through the barn doors.  There are two modes of fun: "play" and "learn."  In the "play" mode, pushing buttons and dropping balls results in funny sounds and songs.  If you switch to the "learn" mode, pushing the buttons will teach the child the names and sounds of animals.  Dropping the balls into the top of the chicken teaches counting, up to the number 5.  It even teaches "open" and "close" using the lower barn door.  :)  The chicken can swivel to face either the doors or the buttons.

Since our daughter just learned to sit on her own, this toy is perfect to keep her entertained.

WHAT SHE LOVES:

*The bright colors

*The fun sounds

*The lights

She seriously loves this toy!  She will have to grow into some of the features.  She's a little small to be able to put the balls in the top, but she enjoyed watching me do it, and she loved the result.

She likes pushing the buttons and opening and closing the barn doors.  I think that was her favorite part.

Being seven months old, she was somewhat more interested in putting the balls in her mouth.  I appreciate that the balls are small enough for her to hold with one hand, but big enough that she can't get them all the way into her mouth.

WHAT I LOVE:

*The barn stores the balls, so I don't have to find a way to keep them together.

*The chicken and the little baby chick balls are SO CUTE!

*The barn is sturdy, since she wanted very much to tip it over.

Bright Starts makes some awesome stuff, and it's so affordable!  This toy is just another example of why I love the Bright Starts brand.  This toy is available exclusively at Toys R Us.

ALSO ... right now through September 16th, Bright Starts is giving away five of their Having a Ball Get Rollin' Activity Tables™!  All you have to do is "like" them on Facebook and fill out the entry form to be entered to win!  :)
