The Pop-Up Sun, Lil' Sunshine, is accompanied by friends from the ocean in this colorful pop-up music box.
cute but difficult Fortunately I purchased this "sun- in -the -box" on sale or I think I would have been more disappointed. The crank is very difficult to turn, especially for tiny hands. Therefore, it is hard to make the song play properly. It is very cute and durable but it functions poorly.
It has some drawbacks. Generally the toy is all right. What I didn't like is the handle. It is very difficult for a little child to play with it . The handle is too short and slippery. I had to buy a bigger metallic Jack-In-The-Box later.
Cute but awkward Very cute toy, but the sun is difficult for a little guy to push back into the box. Also, the crank is a bit too small and it's a bit awkward to turn. It is very cute, and it is very sturdy, but it's not so easy to operate. My son loves to watch me do it, but he ends up getting frustrated and leaves it alone. I think it would be easier for an older child rather than younger. Still, it's very, VERY cute.
Very cute option of "jack in the box" Very cute, but I was hoping for something my 1 year old could operate by himself. The turning handle is very hard to turn, as the handle you hold is flexible so it's hard to get a good grip. But the toy is very cute, and my son does enjoy playing with it while it remains open, or if someone plays with him with it.
Great for toddlers I bought this for my twin boys and they love it. It is a little smaller than I expected but still fun. It is very durable, I know since it has been thrown quite a bit. I would recommend this to any parent with a 2 year old.
