I bought this for my granddaughters first birthday. She likes watching the balls come out. Her older sisters, ages 6 and 3 like it even more. They have fun trying to catch the balls. Overall, it is a great toy for toddlers as well as slightly older kids. Highly recommend!

This is a cute toy. However little fingers can get caught between the ball and the wall of the toy. I think after a few pinches he’s too afraid to play with it now.
Love it

I really like the Counting Crab. What I like about the product is that it is suited for children 12 months and up. There are three different modes, from a quiz mode that will ask the child to identity a number, a fun play mode where the crab can move around in different directions and shoot out the cute colored balls, and a learn mode. The child can also insert the different balls into the top and watch them spin down to the bottom of the crab. The toy appears to be very well constructed, durable, and comes with nine balls.

This is by far my son's favorite toy right now. I thought it may be a little bit too young and childlike of a toy for him seeing as how he is two and a half however I was so wrong. He absolutely loves this crab the crowd tells the child to put in a certain amount of balls and health count as they are putting in the balls and ask them to remove a certain amount of balls so it is definitely helping them with learning and Counting. The only downside to this is it is a little loud and there is no option to turn the volume down so it does get quite annoying with how often he plays it LOL however all in all it is a great little toy
Love this toy!

My daughter LOVES this toy ! I’d definitely recommend 10/10! I will say you always gotta watch the kiddo with it all the time cause my little one did put her finger in the hole where the balls come out and pinched herself .. didn’t know that was a thing lol but overall great !!
Great toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cute, fun and educational toy! My son loves the counting crab. We count and it shoots the balls out, gather them all and then count then again as we put them back in. My son is 2 and I feel like he has a decent amount of time until he outgrows this toy. He plays with it at least once a day which is a huge win in my book!"
Very cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, this toy is super cute and both my 1 year old and 4 year old really enjoy it. The counting is cute and my little one loves putting the balls in. Two things I would change to make it 5 stars: be able to turn off the spin feature plus have a volume button. It’s very loud. Also, if anything else is put in the hole on top (other size ball or random toy) it’s very hard to get it out. There needs to be some sort of feature at the exit that you can reach in and get things out. Because, inevitably a one year old will put other things inside it. Overall a very cute toy and I would definitely buy it.
So cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby absolutely loves his Baby Trend - Counting Crab! It is one of his favorite toys right now. He loves the colors and the way the crab spins and shoots the balls around the house. He loves chasing them and putting them back in the top. The buttons are easy to press and I like the quiz feature so it challenges my little one.
Great fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter absolutely loves her counting crab. She has been using it for a few weeks now and literally wants to play with it everyday. Set up was super easy and only took a few mins, just remove from packaging and add batteries and you’re good to go. She loves how it counts and also shoots out balls. I love how it’s teaching her counting while also entertaining her at the same time.
So cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves the Counting Crab! It’s a very well made toy and keeps him entertained for a while. The balls that are included are good and sturdy which is a big plus in my book seeing as how everything goes into the mouth at this age.
Great toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 1 year old loved the Counting Crab! She was laughing and took it everywhere with her when we first received it. The counting aspect is great for toddlers and I love that you can switch it to a music mode. It does keep them busy. The balls constantly pop out when its on and can sometimes be hard to keep up with them. It doesn't really work or spin on carpet so I recommend putting it on a hard surface.
