"This is a really cute new version of the take along tunes toy. It plays similar if not the same songs and there is Hape functionality during the songs to play along. I didn’t expect much but my 1 year old loves pushing the middle button (it makes a long ding) and dancing along to the songs. We haven’t gotten much use of the colors setting yet."
"My two year old nephew loves learning about colors from this toy. It's easy for him to hold by himself and it's really great because he can take it with for car rides. I love it lights up and plays cute music. It really keeps my nephew engaged and he wants to take it everywhere!"
"My first impression was it’s high quality not cheaply made and well manufactured. My baby was intrigued with it right away enamored by the changing colors and the fun music. The handle is perfect for little hands to grab. I love the learning aspect of it to teach colors and it’s in a fun way that makes kids excited to learn. This is a unique toy that I would recommend to other parents."
"We are huge fans! It’s entertaining and educational for my little one. I love that it’s not not bulky so I can easily stow it in my diaper bag for travel purposes. I can definitely see this being used for quite some time!"
"Simple but colorful and engaging toy for little ones. My 7 month old can easily push the button and loves watching the lights. My 3 year old enjoys tapping all the individual colors and carrying it around by the handle. It’s enjoyed equally by both ages! Learning about combining colors makes it more advanced and unique than a regular color toy. The 3 different languages are a fun aspect too!"
"Playful Painter Magic Touch Color Palette I love the different options on this toy for different learning stages not too loud sturdy and no hard edges.

I highly recommend this. . . . ."

It is actually a good size too and perfect for little hands! It is super easy for baby to hold it. I love that it teaches baby about different colors! It also lights up. It is just a lot of fun for baby. I highly recommend this toy!!"
"My 8 month old son has been enjoying playing with this toy. He is very interested in the toy and had lots of fun with it. I love that it has lights music and is educational. It has 2 modes. One is where you learn about color names and the other mode is about mixing colors. I like that the toy is slim and has a big handle which is easy for him to hold."
"This playful painter is a wonderful way to introduce colors to your little one. When your child touches the colors it will tell your child the color name and light up. Also a free play option where baby can mix colors with the 2 modes of play. Has 3 languages as well. Excellent learning toy!"
"This is a wonderful toy! It's well-made and lightweight and the sound quality is amazing. I love that you can change the language from English to Spanish or French- that is such a cool and educational feature!! My 9 month old loves touching the different colors and watching the lights flash in conjunction with the music. I do think she is still a little too young to understand the commands (finding the color red for example) but I think she will enjoy that as she gets older."
