Interactive Elephant Drum and Ball Toy

My daughter absolutely loves the drumming sound but it does carry through our flat more than I expected. At 12 months she's fascinated by the lights and chases it round the living room daily, so it's earned its keep despite the volume.

My son is quite heavy handed with his toys and this has survived several drops and the odd bite without any cracks. He's 15 months and particularly likes the football popping up above the elephant's head.

The toy itself is good fun and my 13 month old loves chasing it round the lounge. The included instructions were quite minimal so it took a minute to work out the battery compartment, but once sorted it's been great.

We took the batteries out for the plane but he still loved pressing the drumsticks and watching the ball bob about with his hands. At 19 months he's past the chewing stage so I wasn't worried about small parts.

It's a good size for little hands to hold onto without being bulky to store away. My daughter is 17 months and likes pushing it along herself now as well as watching it move on its own. Lights are bright without being overwhelming.

Our eldest had something similar years ago so we knew our youngest would like this style of toy. At 10 months he's mostly fascinated by the lights on the wheels rather than the drumming part, but either way he's glued to it.

Switch it on and my 12 month old is happy watching the ball float and the elephant drum away while I get tea ready. Genuinely buys me ten minutes most evenings which is more than most toys manage.

Wasn't expecting much given the cost but the plastic feels decent quality and the joints on the arms holding the drumsticks haven't loosened at all. My twin boys are 14 months and take turns banging the drum.

Got the blue one and it's gorgeous in person, really vivid. My little one is 8 months and mostly watches it move and lights flash from her playmat for now, but I can already tell she'll be chasing it in a few months.

My daughter enjoys it a lot and the bump and go feature is genuinely clever engineering for the price. Only gripe is we go through batteries quicker than expected with how often she wants it switched on. Would still buy again.

My son is 11 months and chases this across the living room every evening. It's surprisingly quick for a toy on wheels. The orange colour has stayed bright even after a fair bit of handling and the odd drop.

Overall a good buy for my 15 month old, the drumming and lights hold his attention well. The little football did come loose and roll under the sofa once, so I keep an eye on it now. Still plays with it most days though.

She's 16 months and carries the elephant around by its ears most days. The wheels light up when it moves which she thinks is magic. Only downside is she gets a bit loud when she's excited about it, but that's not the toy's fault.

We take this on long drives to the grandparents and it keeps our son entertained without needing to be switched on, just the drumsticks moving when he taps them. Plastic feels solid and the edges are nicely rounded for little hands.

Started using this during supervised floor play with my 9 month old and now she tries to crawl after it when it rolls. The colours are lovely and bright and the drum sound isn't too harsh on the ears, which I appreciated.

No assembly needed at all, just pop the batteries in and it's ready to go. My little boy is 13 months and the way the ball hovers above the elephant's head keeps him watching for a good ten minutes at a time, which is rare for him.

We already had the blue version for our eldest and liked it so much we got the orange one for our youngest so they stop fighting over it. Both toddlers find the lights and music genuinely exciting rather than just noisy for the sake of it.

Picked the orange one and it looks brighter in person than the photos suggest. My daughter is 14 months and loves pressing the drum herself now rather than just watching it go. No wobbly bits after a few weeks of daily use.

My nephew is 10 months old and this was a hit at his birthday. The drumming elephant catches his attention straight away and the little football bouncing on the air jet is such a clever touch. Arrived well packaged too.

Our son is just starting to pull himself up and this gives him something to chase across the kitchen floor. The bump and go movement means it changes direction on its own when it hits the skirting board, which he finds hilarious. Battery life has been decent so far.

Bought this for my 18 month old and she is obsessed with watching the little ball pop up and down. The drum lights up when she bangs it and the wheels flash too, so there is loads going on. Feels sturdy enough for her to crawl all over without anything snapping off.
