This was a gift for a baby shower, and I put it away until the baby was able to play with it, but I forgot about it and haven't used it much. It's a product that's almost new. When the baby can grasp things, shaking it will make a sound. There are no bags or instructions. If you purchase this item with other items, I will include it for free. Please comment if you'd like it. This is a used item, so there may be some scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues.
