4 out of 5 stars Its a Classic!!   November 21, 2008

I had to get this for my 3 year old daughter because I had one as a child and I loved it!! She loves it too, keeps her attention for a long time. Only downside is the noise it makes. I wish this toy came with a mute button!

My 2 1/2 yr old daughte spent 3 hours playing this when we first got it. Now, she occasionally let the penguins slide down on their own - without turning on the unit. She thinks it's a little noisy - even for her age !

I purchased this toy to use with handicapped preschool students. It has been great as a motivational toy, as a reward for completing a task and for a severely handicapped child it has assisted with her visual tracking abilities. It has also been effective with students beginning to
verbalize.

Cute race. My kids had the ducks that go up the ramp and slide down when they were little. I bought this for a present for my grown daughter. She loves it.

The toy is well made and arrived very quickly.



4 out of 5 stars How to get the penguins to shut up!   November 6, 2007

Great toy, but as stated, the sqeaker has to go. I did this simply by taking it apart and removing it. It's easy enough to do, just take all the screws out (all you need is a phillips screwdriver)and pull the 2 peices apart. You'll see a small clear plastic "accordian-shaped" peice at the bottom near the bottom of the stairs, it will have a black horn-shaped peice attached to it. Unhook it from the arm that connects to it (i actually unhooked the arm also so it wasn't just flopping around in there) and voila, no more squeaky penguins!

Now the stairs that take the penguins up is still a bit loud, but not nearly as annoying as *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *sq...ok you get the idea.
