Bright Starts Hide 'n Spin Monkey Review

We had the opportunity to facilitate a review for the Hide 'n Spin Monkey from Bright Starts .  Although we were given a sample, this review is honest and unbiased.

My grandson will be celebrating his first Christmas soon. He was born 6 days to late last year. He loves toys that play music and light up. I knew when we received the Hide 'n Spin Monkey that he would love it. We could tell before we opened the box that this toy lit up and was musical by the picture, he was already clapping his hands before we got the toy out of it's box.

The Hide 'n Spin Monkey is an adorable toy aimed at children 6-36 months. The toy has to be assembled at home with a Phillips head screwdriver. It is self explanatory and simple. The monkey has three buttons on his hat which flash, when they are pressed. It plays a song featuring the name of the shape on the button and the color of the button. The toy comes with 5 colored balls. They can go into the monkey's hat and the monkey's head will dip into the barrel. The balls will drop out of the spinning wheel.

The Hide 'n Spin Monkey also features silly monkey sounds, melodies and lights. The toy introduces the baby to shapes and counting. There are two ways you can play with this toy, sitting or standing. Drop balls into the barrel and the monkey will hide. The balls spin and roll, there are leaf gates that will control ball chasing fun. The Hide 'n Spin Monkey comes included with 2 AA batteries.

My grandson loves his Hide 'n Spin Monkey. He likes to press the monkey's nose. He laughs and laughs hearing the monkey's silly sounds. When I get him new toys I always try to make sure they are educational. I like that it will help him with his coordination and motor skills, and many of the key toddler skills. I like that as as interesting as this toy is to him sitting down, that when he begins to stand it will still hold appeal to him. Its a large toy, I was a little surprised when it arrived, it stands about 50cm. I would recommend this Hide n Spin Monkey to other parents, its adorable, it's fun, its educational, developmental, and it's affordable. I absolutely love watching my grandson clap and laugh at the lights and the music. There is no greater joy than watching your grand child's laughter as they play and learn. I gave him 2 weeks to play then packed it away for Christmas. Thinking he'll forget all about it and I'll get to watch him get excited all over again! It wasn't as good a plan as I had thought because I hadn't taken pictures yet. I knew you'd want to see it in action so I borrowed a neighbor. hehe
