These 2 toys are both spot on. Not always easy to get into the mind of a 1 year old but for whatever reason, my grandson gravitates towards both of these toys.The learning walker is the perfect height for him. He's not yet walking on his own but with the walker, he gets around the house like can. He moves over carpet, tile, wood floors with ease. When he bumps into something, he can repoint the walker in a better direction completely on his own. Honestly, the lights, music, phone, etc are just bonuses. It's just a great mobility tool.The cube fascinates him. I don't know what it is about the voices, noises and songs but when this thing lights up, it catches his attention. I, personally, like to play with the cymbals and maracas. He likes just about everything on here. The fact that he can grab onto the cube, flip it around and occasionally launch it across the room is great too. It's solid enough to withstand the beating yet lightweight enough to not cause great damage to everything else. A great balance.
