Brightlings Dancers

I was looking for an inexpensive gift for some newborns in my family, and was pleasantly surprised. I had read some bad reviews, but they worked fine and the kiddos loved them, for 2.99, even if they are short lived, I'm happy!

I bought these for my 11 month old son and he's yet to even pick one of them up. He did look at the one with the flashing light but not even a glance at the other two.

I got these for [...] but even for that they're not worth it. They really don't do anything. They are just little hard plastic things. I don't know why anyone would want to buy these. Or why they were even designed and manufactured. Pointless.

I bought Brightling Dancers (this product) and Brightlings Builders for my 6-month old daughter. Overall I think the Brightlings collection is pretty cute, but I didn't want to buy the Exploration Station .... just didn't think it has much to do - especially since my daughter has similar toys. The Brightling Builders and Brightlings Dancers are much cheaper, but if you want to choose one of these two I would recommend the Builders.In my opinion, the idea of the Dancers is cute, but I expected more and I think the product needs improvement. The 3 figures are supposed to either whirl, wobble or glow. The wobbling one is my favorite, as it swings back and forth when touched - however, this ONLY works on a hard surface ... forget about on carpet (not even on a table with tablecloth!). The glowing one is nice too ... baby presses head down and body begins to spin and glow. The worst is the whirling one .... pretty much doesn't do anything.The reason for my rating is that they are only $10 ... I mean how much can you really expect ... I had a lot of toys that cost more and did less. Besides .. baby and I enjoy two out of the three figures.

The Brightlings Dancers are cute little guys that are perfect for very young babies that are learning how to pick up things, crawl towards toys, etc. Perfect size for little hands to hold. The green one is especially neat because it spins and blinks when you press his head. My baby loves this. They're also a good size to keep in the diaper bag for on the go play. Other reviewers complain that they don't do much but neither do rattles or any other infant toy. What should it do? Teach French? Come on guys! It's for babies!!

I bought this item on sale for stocking stuffers for my 15 mos old. I figured not much money wasted if she didn't like them. But she was obsessed with them on Christmas day. She carried them around everywhere. She has sooo many toys that she loses interest in a lot of them quickly but she when she discovers them again she loves to play with them. Especially the green one...she'll sit there and push the top over and over again. I'd say they're great toys especially for younger babies. My daughter is just too active to sit and play with these for long.

My 7 month old received this for Christmas. He likes the yellow one that lights up when the top is pressed, but the others are pretty boring. The pink one has something inside that whirls, but the plastic covering is not perfectly clear, making it hard to see that it is whirling when it is pushed. He just uses the blue one as a rattle. (It stands up when knocked down.) I don't recommend this. There are better things out there.
