"He's 7 months. He loves it. He wanted to lay in it in the floor and play on it so I let him. We took pictures to post of Facebook- which he loves too! All I had to do was sweep it up, take a washcloth and get the powder left, up.. and then ofcourse change our clothes. Nothing too messy about it. "

"This activity is great. It kept my baby busy for a while. I added to 3 more containers to the activity of different sizes so that she could pour the cornmeal fro container to container."
