I wanted to love this toy, I really really did. I have a 4 year old, 2.5 year old and 11 month old who all played with this. All of them loved inserting the coins and seeing where they would pop out. It's absolutely great on working on fine motor skills while they insert the coins - exactly as advertised. It's cute and simple to understand and all my kids were immediately drawn to it.
However, there are definitly a few flaws, and the flaws make it frustrating to play with. As others mentioned above, the wings fall off really easily. This wasn't as much of a problem for my littlest, but my 2.5 and 4 year old defintily had issues with this - even when they were being relatively gentle (as gentle as kids their ages can be). Having to reattach the wings every few minutes takes away from the fun.
The other big issue is the coin slot. It's JUST big enough that two coins can be squeezed in at the same time, causing them to get stuck. I wish the slot was either slightly bigger, or slightly smaller, resolving the issue. Again, this wasn't as much of an issue for my baby, who can really only hold one coin at a time, but it was an issue for my older two for sure.
Other then those big issues, it's such a great idea. I love the idea of having a 'coin bank' (which my kids already love), but with bigger coins. This could be such a fun toy once those issues are resolved.
