Review: Worked for about 5 mins - It would be a great toy if it actually worked. Put batteries in and it worked for the first day for about 5 mind. After that it stopped and hasn’t worked since.
Review: Good quality, but there are a number of design 'flaws' - I'll caveat part of this by saying our 18 month old has been playing with it for 5-10 minutes, so not the most in-depth assessment. Whilst the product look like it's sturdy, so will last, we found the following two 'issues'. The noise doesn't actually activate when the piece is inserted correctly, but when it's more or less over the sensor. The has the following implications, that the animal doesn't need to be placed in position, nor does it need to be placed inside the correct position (so you get a duck going meow). As they are light sensors, our daughter has also figured our she can lie over the base and get all sorts of animal noises. Fun, but not what we were hoping for.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are the lyrics sung ?**
A: Yes

**Q: 3-2023 Are the wiring issues fixed yet? Do the lyrics line up with the pieces?**
A: No, it doesn't work at all like it should. 
Very disappointed.

**Q: Is there a way to buy the pieces? I bought one for my daughter but it was missing the horn piece?**
A: Also wondering if you can buy a piece separately. Puzzle is kind of unusable when missing one piece.

**Q: Is it suppose to sing when you place a piece or when a piece is removed?**
A: If I remember correctly, it sings when you remove a piece, which was my daughter's only complaint about the puzzle. It encourages undoing the puzzle rather than doing it. I think they ended up turning the sound off.
