Neurosmith - Music Blocks with Mozart Music Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son is 2-and-a-half-years old, and has had this toy for 6 months. Except for a couple 5-minute trials when he first got this toy, he has never played with it. This surprised me because my son loves music. He loves listening to all kinds of music on CD, loves musical videos from the Wiggles to Sesame Street, and enjoys playing on the piano and drums.
But as I said, the musical blocks didn't interest him at all, perhaps because they seem so simplistic. Although each block can be positioned in 3 ways to make 3 different sounds, and the blocks can be placed in different locations to change the order that the parts play, it just doesn't seem that challenging or interesting to my son. In my opinion, the options for creativity are too linear with this toy.
Another down side of this toy is that it requires the blocks to remain clean and dry, which is a challenge at times. My 7-month-old daughter LOVES to chew the blocks when she can sneak them in her mouth. It is also easy to lose the blocks, thereby rendering the toy useless.
Overall, this toy seems less educational than just listening to a music cd (which is cheaper than one cartridge, and contains about an hour more music). It is less fun for my son than just playing on a piano (or cheap keyboard), and it is a fairly delicate device that can be essentially ruined by losing one 2" block. How many 2" toys have been lost in your house in the last couple years?
If your kid loves to dance, this toy may be frustrating, due to the short length of the musical selections (only 4 seconds per block, less than 30 seconds total).
