Below is the toy My first fish bowl by Lamaze. I found this toy on amazon for $16.97 and diapers.com for $24.95.
It comes with a clear plastic bowl and four fish of different colors, texture and sounds.
This toy has been a hit at our house Little Man ( 2.5 year old) loves it because the fish at remove able and he has been into animals of all kind lately. Also we play toss the fish back into the bowl when I'm cleaning or just goofing off with him.
As happy as I am that little Man likes the toy I mainly bought it for Baby girl ( 9 month old) . Lately her OT and PT have been wanting to work on her hand dexterity by having her put items into a bowl and take them out again. This exercise works dexterity of the hands and fingers, this is also a cognitive toy in that it teaches cause and effect and babies her age 8-12months start to understand that they can make things appear and go away again and again. The desire to do this as well as the ability is important
For further development.
Baby girl is currently teething so the different textures of the toys has been very appealing to her to chew on then drop. We haven't mastered putting the fish back in the bowl yet.
Overall I'm very pleased with the toy.
