My son loves this toy!
I bought this for my 5 month old for Christmas and he just loves it. It is so sensitive that he can easily make it light up and play the music on his own. I read the reviews about the music being loud and I am inclined to agree that it may be a bit on the loud side but it makes my son giggle so much when he hears the music play, that I cannot complain. He does hit it in the middle of the night and the music over the monitor wakes us up but never seems to disturb him. The music is a nice improvement on this toy but if I could add a constructive comment, it might be a good idea for Hasbro to make the toy with a feature that allows the sound to be turned off by a switch so that it just glows at those times when the music is not wanted.

Loved it at 3 months old!
My daughter received this for Christmas, when she was 3 months old, and fell in love with it instantly. We sometimes wondered if she thought that the Gloworm was alive. She truly enjoyed the many songs and the happy lit face of Gloworm. She is now 14 months old and although she took a break from him for about 3 months, she's enjoying him once again. Now, though, she is able to hug Gloworm herself. I highly recommend this toy for any newborn!

AWESOME
My 8 month old daughter LOVES this toy. It'll stop her mid-scream. I bought it a few months ago and she's so cute with it. She kisses it and looks lovingly into it's eyes. I highly recommend it.

Great Toy
This was given to my daughter as a gift when she was 2mths old, and she loves it! It is really easy for her to activate, and it's an instant cry-stopper. However, I do agree with the other parents where it doesn't play the songs long enough. Right now her batteries are low and it sounds pretty creepy. You've got to keep batteries at hand with this toy.

Love it
We brought this for our daughter who isn't even a month old yet and she loves it. If she gets fussy all we have to do is squeeze it and her eyes widen and she just watches it. The only bad thing is that it doesn't play the songs for very long before it shuts off and you have to squeeze it again. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Puppets nurture the imagination, inspire creativity, develop interactive play and expandlanguage. This reviewer has found them to be excellent tools for teaching foreign languages--children willcomfortably experiment when manipulating a puppet, but not when simply talking to a friend. As childrenmature, they are able to use puppets in a more sophisticated manner that will help them last a good longtime.

The interesting fact sheet that Folkmanis always includes with their puppets tells us that this Ladybugpuppet (winner of a Parents' Choice Award) is one of 5,000 species of ladybugs worldwide. Ladybug is red,as she should be to warn predators. Her fleecy soft body is filled with firm foam. Manipulate her on herunderside with a black velveteen glove (cleverly designed with two thumbs for both left- and right-handedpuppeteers) that serves as her legs. This is a simple, well-made puppet worthy of its award. --Sandy Hirsch ... Read more

Goes Great with the Grouchy Ladybug Story!
Both my children have enjoyed the story by Eric Carle "The Very Grouchy Ladybug." Having a ladybug puppet just enhances it and makes it so much more interactive. And it was a hit when my son took the puppet and book to school to share with his teachers and friends!

This will tickle kids of all ages
My five year old son loves to talk to "lady buggy" as I crawl around him with my fingers in 5 of her 6 legs. She's held up through sharing his powdered-suger doughnuts and falling in the tub. Just a lovely little puppet. ... Read more

Editorial Review

As delicate and ephemeral as a wisp of cloud, this littlebutterfly is a chiffon-winged flight of fancy. The 8-inch-long tinyfinger puppet gains a little substance when your finger fills a stretchyknit tube of midnight black that forms its torso. Eyes are tiny Frenchknots, barely visible. The two antennae are formed by wisps of stringattached at the forehead. And those wings! Dainty snippets of lilacchiffon gracefully shaped and tinted with swirls of amethyst, edged inblack. This could be a rare specimen from the wilds of Myanmar or aprize from the tropical jungles of South America. Because it's small,light, and uncomplicated--and because butterflies aren't generallytalkative critters--it's a perfect choice for a smaller child who hasn'thad much experience with puppetry or performance. And this butterfly makes a goodconversation-starter with those who may be on the shy side. You'll wantto take good care of the wings--or be prepared to iron them--becausethey'll wrinkle if little Butterfly gets tossed carelessly into the toybox. --Julie Ubben ... Read more
