Purchased as the first gift of Christmas for our chip then aged almost 4 months at the time the. We actually started to use dice although she held her head. Today it has almost 8 months and since the beginning it bursts like a little crazy with it! She very quickly learned how to use it just as she touched the feet on the ground. Now she always seeks to catch the parrot or frog that are in the air. Certainly it is a bit pricey, but well worth it!
