Little Tikes Discoversounds Workshop

Pros: Provides a variety of activities, makes some entertaining sounds
Cons: Expensive, bulky, poor durability, limited educational value

The Little Tikes Discover Sounds Workshop wormed its way into our house recently, much to the dismay of my husband. His remodel./expansion plans for our house can’t seem to keep pace with the rapidly increasing number of toys.

...

Pros: Durable, has a door and compartment to put stuff in.
Cons: Discoversounds? Yeah, right. What sounds?

I can be a victim to marketing. I am easily swayed to purchase items because of their hyperbole, because of their slick picture, because of promises, and because of advertising descriptions. This was the case with my purchase of the Little Tikes...

Pros: Colorful, easy to assemble
Cons: not very durable,

My baby boy turned 1 yr. old the other day and received this workshop as a gift. I had seen it in the stores myself and thought it looked really cute, even thought about buying it, but then I had the thought- where in the world am I going to put it...

Pros: Great for a sitting baby and lots to encourage development
Cons: Topples if not against a wall, fiddly to put together

Back in October before my son's first birthday, I had family asking me what to get him for his Christmas and I had no idea. My mother in law was very insistent that she wanted to get him something worth £50 ($100) which gave me a hard challenge as he had ...

Pros: Countless activities, great colors
Cons: Can't really store it well

I hesitated writing this review for fear I would miss something about this toy. There are so many features, so many little parts...well, it's a bit intimidating to review. Who would have thought I'd say that about a toy. So much for...

Pros: Colorful; Lots of Activities
Cons: Dangerous

My son received this toy from his grandparents for his first birthday. He was instantly in love. We had a spot just off the living room where it fit perfectly. And there is so much to do.

There are balls, buckets, shapes that are designed...

Pros: Very easy to assemble, durable, safe, keeps kids entertained for a long time
Cons: a bit bulky, easily tipped, drawer comes off easily

My son LOVES this toy. I purchased it for him for Christmas of 2003 when he was 8 months old. He has loved it from day 1. I bought the toy because it looked like there were many activities, the price was right, and I thought it would be a good way to ...

Pros: Bright colors, balls, pull down door, sounds
Cons: Shape sorter part somewhat hard to use, 15" high- small

My son is only one and has had this toy for several months and loves it. I have found that boys love sounds, colors, and action. This toy has all of those elements. He has a ball fetish and loves to carry around balls. This comes with the perfect ...

Pros: Lots of activities in one place
Cons: topples when pulled or pushed

I briefly read a couple reviews on this product before writing my own. I must must say that I disagree with a couple opinions. One reviewer commented that it was unentertaining for her 2, 3, and 5 year old. That doesn't surprise me b/c I think this ...

Pros: 1. Colorful 2. Educational 3. Tests Skills - Shapes and Sizes 4. Teaches Organizational Skills
Cons: None

The Discover Sounds Workshop was an excellent purchase for me. My grandson can take the workshop apart and is gradually learning to put it back together. There are a variety of activities for him to do and he seems to play for a few minutes at one place...

Pros: colorful
Cons: many pieces, tips over easily

This toy looks great to give to children. My son's grandparents went out of their way to buy one. The first one did not have the work bench piece. We contacted Little Tikes but they did nothing to help us. I thought that was the end of this until low ...

Pros: Design
Cons: Multiple components

Fathers are always looking for the right toy that not only can entertain their kids, but also teach them and make them smarter. Discover Sounds Workshop has managed to put those two main requirements combined in one single element destined to target...

Pros: Nice size for pre/early walkers, appropriately challenging.
Cons: Didn't offer as many role playing possibilities as the kitchen.

I purchased this shortly after my daughter got the similar discover sounds kitchen. I actually think this toy is better than the kitchen. The extra features are a lot more challenging and kept my daughter busy for a chunk of each day for several months. Can't beat that! She's not as familiar with workbenches as kitchens, so once the extra features were no longer a challenge, she kind of lost interest. She really didn't do as much role play with this as she did with the kitchen. I wish Little Tikes made more realistic workbenches for toddlers-preschoolers.
