Let me tell you, as a parent who's gone through countless 'educational' toys that end up forgotten in 5 minutes, this tissue box toy is a GAME CHANGER. The first time I pulled out those crinkly, colorful 'tissues', my 8-month-old's eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning.

The GOOD: This thing is baby crack in the best possible way. The crinkle sound? Instant baby magnet. The different textures (silky scarves vs crinkle paper) actually hold attention longer than most high-tech toys we've tried. I love watching my little one develop those fine motor skills while happily yanking out 'tissues' - way better than letting her empty actual Kleenex boxes!

The REAL TALK: Some of those silky squares do have loose threads (I snipped them off immediately). And heads up - the box is smaller than it looks in photos (about the size of a small jewelry box). But honestly? That compact size makes it perfect for diaper bags and car seats.

PRO TIP: Wash before first use (they do have that new-fabric smell), and supervise play since the wet silky pieces can ball up in tiny mouths. We mostly use the crinkle papers now which are STILL a hit after months.

Final verdict? Worth every penny for how long it keeps babies engaged. Just be ready to re-stuff that box approximately 9,372 times a day - but hey, that's the whole point!
