Fisher Price "The Farmer Says" See 'n' Say Review

One of my daughters received a Fisher Price "The Farmer Says" See 'n' Say game as a gift. This game reminds me of the old animal noise games of many years back where you used to pull a string and it would make the animal noise while the center spinned. If you're thinking I'm old, well, just remember to respect your elders.

This game has 17 different animal sounds. You might be wondering from the picture where all those animals are. There is a lever that flips across to reveal aminals on the other side. It also has a choice for music or a quiz where the child is encouraged to find the animal that makes a particular sound, etc. Just point the center arrow (or just leave it where it's pointing) and then pull the lever to make the sounds.

What I like about this game:

• Very practical--not lots of small parts, which is handy when you have children of various ages
• Educational--kids can learn hand-eye coordination and animal sounds
• Kids like the added option of music
• Small enough to pack for traveling
• Has various options for kids of different abilities
• Don't have to turn it off (it does take 3 AA batteries and ours have lasted for over a year)

What I'd like to see changed:

• It would be nice to have a volume control
• Pulling the lever is a bit hard for the smaller kids--it would be nice to have an easier option for making the sound, like pointing the arrow and then just pushing down on the arrow for the little ones

My Viewpoint:

The Fisher Price "The Farmer Says" See 'n' Say is a fun, practical, and educational toy that has appealed to all of my daughters (now ages 2, 5, 8). It brings back memories of an older version of this game, but I think the added features make it more user friendly.
