VTech Turn & Learn Cube

Once a baby starts sitting, it helps to have something within reach that rewards leaning, twisting and turning, and this small cube does that for not much money. Each side has something different — light-up buttons with animals and shapes, instruments to press or slide, parts that spin — and moving the cube sets off sounds too, so babies tend to keep rolling it round to see what the next side does. We like it as a sitting-practice toy rather than a teaching one; your voice naming the animals beats the recorded one. The cons: it is noisy, some find the spoken words unclear, younger babies may only bash it at first, and older toddlers move on. It comes in different colourways at different stores, so do not worry if yours looks different.
