This toy is amazing! I bought this for my little niece and she played with all it day long. It's well made and durable, and all of the pieces are securely attached. We also love that the board is lightweight and portable, so we can take it with them on the go.

This could be a great learning book for kids to fine tune their first skills with. There are zippers, belt buckles, shoelaces, a clock, cogs & more.It all closes up nicely and has an elastic to button closure. HOWEVER, I deducted 3 stars because one of the arms on the clock came loose & the button for the elastic closure popped off the first day it was used, posing an immediate choking risk. Also, part of the foam dinosaur wasn't attached when we unpackaged it, which lead to me having to hot glue it back on.This has potential. But it needs some serious quality control.

This is one of the simpler busy boards I've seen, but with a grandson who loves dinosaurs who is still < 2, it is perfect. No removable pages or velcro parts that will get lost, just two pages of permanently placed elements.He loves the buckle variety, and his manual dexterity is really improving with the different kinds. A lot of boards seem to duplicate one or two of the buckles, but these are all unique.The shoe strings and string buckle are a little long for the size of the book, and I like boards that have elastic and buttons to close, not velcro (it tends to get gunked up with snack material), but those are really the only niggles I've got.Good little book. If we discover something else to say, we'll update the review.

On the positive side, this is a good size, easy to handle and nice for travel, outings.However, in my opinion, it shouldn’t be used without making a couple of modifications.First, the tie/sliding clasp feature is a choking risk. See photo. It’s pretty easy to free the small blue part. Double knott the ends or sew in a feature that prevents it from being removed.Second, the clock hands are concerning. The feel like they will eventually break off.Net is I don’t feel comfortable turning this over with modification and without tight supervision.
