Manhattan Toy® Put & Peek Birdhouse

This toy received the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal award for its imaginative and playful design.

Guided by our instructors, we've used it for

  • In and Out
  • Open and Close
  • Tweet Tweet sounds
  • Bird-related songs, with flying hand motions (Bluebird, Bluebird, Out my Window is a favorite)
  • Sharing
  • Colors
  • Turn-taking and
  • A goodnight poem using the "nighttime" panel

The different panels and doors offer a varied landscape for activities. It's soft, so baby can be left alone with it to practice and explore. The birds make a very soft rattle sound, which hasn't distracted from the activities.

This toy has become a mainstay for us.

We received it as a gift from family, and at about $40, it's one of our more expensive toys. But, it has been well worth the price.

9m+ 

Highly recommend!
