My daughter had a developmental eval done where they needed to get and maintain her attention. For little ones these settings can be tough when you consider new people, new surroundings, and difficult requests. When I saw how much interest she showed so quickly I immediately had to have one!It's amazing! The batteries it came with lasted *maybe* two hours lol Nothing a screwdriver and 3 AA batteries couldn't fix! When I replaced the batteries, I saw the ones that had been in there weren't a name brand (or at least not one I recognized)Once I replaced the batteries, they've so far lasted 3 days - so I'd say, plan to replace them pretty early on ...but once you do, it's not like they'll drain that fast moving forward.The spinning of the star with lights causes a bit of vibration and sound - great for sensory input and development! She's also slightly teething and I've noticed she enjoys putting it against her gums as it's running.The first one I ordered came damaged. The way it appeared, it was damaged in transit - but the replacement was hassle free and shipment was prompt! Absolutely no complaints from me as far as that goes. Life happens and the way things were handled was exceptional.The absolute only downside I have is after about 5 to 10 minutes of use it tends to start warming up to the touch. So it's not going to be a toy I'd give her during something like say, a car ride, where it might be difficult to take back if it were getting too warm. We usually give it to her for a period of time then just check it to feel how warm it is and either turn it off or hold onto it for a bit before giving it back.She loves it though! When she saw me take it out of the box (she was busy at the time.and I thought I was being quiet lol) she screeched for joy and frantically started reaching for it from across the room lol she knew exactly what it was. She's extremely possessive when it comes to this wand and it's going to now be one of our big deal toys for muscle work and calming/distraction after immunizations.For the price, it's a steal. Even if I had to purchase one of these a month, it'd be a steal.I don't however think it's built for durability. I'd say, be prepared to replace *fairly* often. Maybe not once a month, but if you're using it daily like we do, maybe once every 2-3 months.

Got this for my 8m old daughter. It's lasted two years later plus a 1 year old brother. It's been dropped hundreds of times. Cracked, smacked, and then some. And somehow it's only now stopped working. First the top half lights stopped, then the clear ball opened and no longer let the star spin. After a few days of that, it finally let go. Reordering with hope that the next will last as long.

Got these for my two granddaughters (2 & 5) at Christmas and they loved them, played with them all day. Even adults like to play with these things, they are bright and colorful and mesmerizing. Only possible drawback, the clear plastic globe seems a bit flimsy and will probably break if dropped or banged around too much.

The media could not be loaded. Kept my 18 month old son and 2 year old niece entertained on an airplane for hours! They both loved this thing. Unfortunately due to typical toddler use it’s already breaking after having it for 2 weeks now. I’m not shocked, my son throws this thing around all the time. The button to turn it on works 1/2 the time and sometimes the toy will turn on just by brushing up against the button. So, if you’re buying this for a child under 4 don’t expect it to last long, that being said I’d still buy it again 😂

The brightness is fabulous. It sure is a fun time playing with this spinning light up ball. Worth the money!!. Good quality. It vibrates while it is on which my kids find soothing. Easy to hold. Good battery life.

Does not last. My grandson dropped it and it doesn’t work anymore.Great light up toy!

This is a awesome toy! Both my austisic grandchildren love it!!

I am a therapist and purchased this for use in therapy as a reward for students with Autism. It worked perfectly, though it was kind of high priced compared to similar models. It was stolen after 2 weeks, so I’ll never know its durability or longevity. It is too expensive for me to buy another out of pocket (no budget), as it would total $30 just for this one toy. Please donate to your local schools or decrease the price to make it more accessible for children with special needs.
