Sago Mini Sound Box

What it is: a musical toy with extra features. 9 sound sets (instruments, animals, vehicles etc).

What you do with it: the sounds are represented by colored bubbles. Play with the bubbles and sounds: tap, tap and hold a bubble to reveal a surprise animation, tap with multiple fingers for 'special' bubbles and multiple sounds, shake the device to bounce the bubbles around etc.

What we liked: the concept. Excellent set of interactive features/gesture combinations. Simple illustrations and animations. Fun factor. Ease of use. No distracting elements.

What we didn't like: bubbles may be too small for younger kids or kids with poor eye-hand coordination. Number of 'surprise animations' is a bit limited (they get repetitive very quickly). Navigation between the sound sets could be easier.
