Customer Rating: Summary: fun toy Comment: My 2 1/2 yr old daughte spent 3 hours playing this when we first got it. Now, she occasionally let the penguins slide down on their own - without turning on the unit. She thinks it's a little noisy - even for her age ! Customer Rating: Summary: Penguin Racer Comment: I purchased this toy to use with handicapped preschool students. It has been great as a motivational toy, as a reward for completing a task and for a severely handicapped child it has assisted with her visual tracking abilities. It has also been effective with students beginning to
verbalize. Customer Rating: Summary: Adorable Comment: Cute race. My kids had the ducks that go up the ramp and slide down when they were little. I bought this for a present for my grown daughter. She loves it.
The toy is well made and arrived very quickly. Customer Rating: Summary: How to get the penguins to shut up! Comment: Great toy, but as stated, the sqeaker has to go. I did this simply by taking it apart and removing it. It's easy enough to do, just take all the screws out (all you need is a phillips screwdriver)and pull the 2 peices apart. You'll see a small clear plastic "accordian-shaped" peice at the bottom near the bottom of the stairs, it will have a black horn-shaped peice attached to it. Unhook it from the arm that connects to it (i actually unhooked the arm also so it wasn't just flopping around in there) and voila, no more squeaky penguins!
Now the stairs that take the penguins up is still a bit loud, but not nearly as annoying as *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *sq...ok you get the idea. Customer Rating: Summary: Lots of noisy fun Comment: We purchased this for our 20 month old grandson, because he enjoyed our old original Penquin Race by just placing the penquins manually up and down the stairs and track. He was thrilled to see how the new one actually was supposed to work. Under supervision, it has even been a great learning tool for colors and the word "up", "down", "around" and "under". It arrived in great shape and timely fashion.
