nothing special
My daughter is a year old now, and has had this toy in her crib basically from the beginning.She's never really shown much interest in it at all, which is weird, because she loves most other toys that have music and lights and buttons to push.But this she barely plays with, even when I try to get her interested in it.

I think part of the problem might be that the keys are tough for a baby to distinguish (the whole thing just looks like one big piece of cloth), so it's hard for her to tell where she's supposed to push, or even that her pushing causes the sound and lights.Actually, now that she's old enough to understand the concept of a "button," she keeps trying to push on the lights themselves, because they look more like buttons than the keys do.

Also, the music's a little annoying.If you get this as a gift, it might be worth keeping, but I wouldn't run out and buy one.

Nice but not spectacular
I really liked the idea of having a toy that my daughter could use from a very young age, and this piano seemed to fit the bill.I received one at my baby shower and immediately attached it to the foot of her cradle.My daughter is a big kicker, so she started using this piano when she was only a few weeks old.

I've never had a problem with the Kick n Play, and while I'm not sure my baby yet realizes that she's making it work by kicking it, she does kick it quite a bit when it's within reach.My big complaint is that the selection of music and other sounds that the piano makes aren't very good.On one setting, it plays several children's songs (instrumental only) - the sound quality is OK, but nothing special...certainly not as good as the sound on the Imaginarium mobiles.On another setting, it says an animal name when a key is kicked ("dog") and provides the sound of the animal (again, the sound quality of the animal sounds is pretty poor in my opinion).Another kick and a number is said, then a few bars of a song.Lights flash.Really, nothing too exciting.The songs are the same on every setting; the main difference is how much of each song is played and how many are played in a row.I find the one-word animal and number identification just plain boring.I think much more could have been done with the audio part of this toy, which is why I'm only giving it 3 stars.

Doesn't hold interest
My son is 9 months old and is still not interested in this toy (he's has it since 3 months old).He'll play with it for a few minutes, but quickly looses interest.Maybe he will like it better when he's a little older... ... Read more

Editorial Review

This colorful car collection develops motor skills and hand-eye coordination while your child makes important discoveries about sorting and strategy. There are four vehicles, numbered 1 through 4, of graduatedsizes: a rattling green sports car, a blue police car with a revolving roof light, a yellow school bus with an opening sunroof, and a red fire truck with an adjustable clicking ladder. The vehicles can be rolledacross the floor, and then stacked--ever so carefully--atop each other, and finally all nested inside the fire truck. Vehicles only nest or stack completely when arranged in proper order of size and number. Made of sturdy plastic, these toys can be dipped in warm sudsy water for easy cleaning. --Kathryn Gustafson ... Read more

Great Trucks!
We bought these trucks for our 15 mo. old daughter and 4 mo. old son- We love them!They are nesting which is fun for our daughter to look underneath the trucks to find the next one or they can stack one on top of the other to make a tower.Perfect first trucks!And they aren't too big- a perfect size!

MOMMY loves this toy.
I saw these on sale at a discount store and couldn't pass up the price. I bought them for my 8 month old daughter. She plays with them frequently. I like them because we can play peek-a-boo by putting items underneath them. Because they are built open underneath, she can grab them easy. She likes the activities on each little car. They also pack very easily for taking some toys out of the house because they nest. I know that she is going to really play with these for years. When we take them places, other kids are very attracted to them. One little boy, age 2, played with them for 30 minutes in the church nursery, stacking them and rolling them. Another boy was 5 years old and he was really into stacking them and identifying the numbers on them. My only concern is that the wheels are held on by a plastic pins and I'm hoping that they don't break. However, you can usually count on FP to make toys that last. My husband is happy because he didn't want me to get one more thing that takes batteries and makes noise!

Maybe the perfect toy
This toy is terrific.It stacks, rolls, and the cars fit inside each other neatly.The three largest cars have a simple moving part on top; the smalles car rattles.No noises, no batteries.Just simple activities a young child can do his or herself.It's marvelously elegant. ... Read more

Daddy likes this too....
My son Jacob has this toy and I probably enjoy it more than him.It's a musical instrument!It's a toy!It's both!I can enjoy playing "Mary had a little lamb" while he drools on it.(Well, he is 2.)Definitely a good purchase.

Very cute, but some room for improvement
Like other reviewers have noted, it's too hard for a baby to use, and definitely too heavy for a small child to pick up, but my 4-month old really likes to sit in my lap while I play it for him. It's awfully cute, and would be adorable even if it wasn't a musical toy. However, I nearly sent it back at first because one or two of the notes (legs) are tougher to get a sound out of (the higher notes). The yellow leg on ours has to be squeezed *just right* in order to sound the note, and even at that, it squeaks rather weakly. I also wish it had come with instructions for playing more than 2 songs. All in all, it's a cute toy.

So cute!
My daughter is 5 months old, and loves her octopus.She can't squeeze the legs to make music yet, but if we put it by her feet, she can kick to get the sounds going, and she laughs when she does it.She loves to hug it and stares at the colors-she also smiles at the happy face on the octopus.She cracks up when we make music with the legs...even though she can't play with it by herself, it's a great bonding toy for us to play with together. ...

Great Investment
My son, Aiden, still enjoys this wonderful soothing crib "toy".It tells him a story, sings him songs, and show's him pictures with just the right amount of light.Not too bright and not too dim.He is 10 months old now and knows how to turn it on all by himself.Great investment.

A disappointing crib toy
I was given this toy at my baby shower by a relative with young children.I assumed her kids liked this toy and that's why she'd given us one (I hadn't requested it on our registry).Unfortunately, our baby has never been interested in this toy.I'm rather surprised because her Leap Frog Learning Seat is one of her absolute favorite things.However, I can understand why she's not interested in the Dreamscapes Soother.Personally, I don't find that there's much to look at - the flat lighted pictures that spin around are nothing compared to the three-dimensional, moving fish and real bubbles in the Ocean Wonders Aquarium (my daughter's very favorite crib toy).Moreover, the sound of the pictures moving is VERY loud.When we first used this toy (at night), my husband and I wondered if it was broken - that's how loud and grating the sound was.We figured out, however, that it's simply the noise of the pictures turning.Unfortunately, to cover up that horrible noise, we found we had to turn the volume up way too loud for sleeping purposes.Overall, I wish I'd kept the box because I am so dissatisfied with this toy that I would return it if I could.

Baby loves it but be ready to buy batteries
Our baby really enjoyed looking at the screen and listening to the music and stories, however it just seems to drain batteries very quickly. ... Read more

A Big Hit With Our Baby!A Favorite of Mom's Too.
We got this toy about 6 wks ago when my youngest son first started to pull himself up on things and it as been a favorite ever since.I love seeing his face when he climbs up on it!There are two settings, music and ABC's, so there are a lot of different songs to enjoy.The objects on top are really cute - it's a sort of picnic theme with snacks around a big soup bowl that spins like a steering wheel - very fun.The two sound level settings are also perfect: the low is not too low and the high is not too high - it's just enough to adjust for different noise levels in the room.The legs snap on and off quickly and easily, so in a few seconds I can convert it from a sitting toy to a standing toy (great when he was standing with less stability - I could set it down on the floor when I couldn't sit there to 'spot' him in the standing position).Both me and my preschooler love to play with him on it!

great toy...worth the money
I bought this toy for my son when he was 8 months old. He plays with it every day! I love the numerous melodies it plays, because you don't get tired of hearing the same song over and over. He knows how to pull the levers, flip the page, and dances along when the music plays. I highly recommend this toy.

Good, but could definitely use some improvements
My daughter got this at 7 months, and loved it right from the beginning.She's 12 months now, and isn't QUITE as interested, but she definitely still plays with it.So overall I think it's a pretty good toy for a baby or toddler, but I do have a few problems with it.

First, it's very bulky.It takes up quite a bit of floor space, and can't really be easily stored anywhere other than the floor unless you remove the legs.

Then, if the legs ARE removed, you've got to find a place for them.It would be much better if the legs could be folded under.Or even if they could be stacked and stored together, but they can't.

Now, I know that other activity tables are just as bulky, but many of them are more versatile.Like, the top can be flipped over and there's a Lego building table or a writing surface underneath.This thing pretty much just has buttons and lights and noises, so once your baby bores of that, you've just got a noisy, bulky thing that's tough to store.

So, while this isn't bad, I DO think there are better activity tables out there. ... Read more

Wiggles and giggles
My son is now 4 months old and got this item when he was months old. This toy has always been around him. From crib to rocker to carseat. He loves the brite colors and little extra noises that hang off of it. This was the first toy to make him giggle out loud! Placing it on his lap in his rocker and playing the music he has learned to do a little wiggle dance to the music and giggle when he is able to activate the toy on his own. When we get ready for our travels out and about he squeels with delite when its placed in his carseat with him. Dont know what i would do with out this cute toy. I hope everyone else has had or will have enjoyable experences with this as we have

LOVED IT SINCE BIRTH!!!
My daughter got this as a gift when she was 2 weeks old.She is now 5 months and it is still one of her favorite toys.Wonderful colors and music to stimulate baby.I told all my friends that were having babies and they allgot one too.

Wonderful product for the price!Great gift idea for new baby!!

My daughter also has the little touch leap pad and loves it!

We'd be lost without this!
I bought this toy for my son when he was three months old as a Hanuakkah present.I thought it was neat looking but I'll admit that I bought it on a whim without knowing if it was something he would even like.Needless to say, my son LOVES this toy!It's small enough that you can easily toss it into a diaper bag and take it out with you, and there are enough activities to keep babies occpied for a while.Even though my husband and I are starting to get sick of some of the sound effects, this is one of the few toys we have that can placate the baby when he is fussing.He loves the colors and the variety of sounds and music.This is one "impulse buy" that I am glad I made. ...

Choking hazard
The nose is glued and sewn on, but my baby still managed to chew it off.I found it hanging by a thread from it's face one day.So, cut off the nose before giving it to your baby, or never leave your baby alone with it once teething starts.

Too bad about the nose because my baby loves his puppytunes.

Dangerous toy - has been taken off the market in Denmark !
"Puppytunes" contains phthalates and has been taken off the market in Denmark!

The Danish environmental protection agency (Danish ministry of the Environment) also found the "multi sensory clutch cube" from Lamaze to contain TCEP and it has also been taken off the market.

TCEP can cause cancer and damage to the kidneys, and children should not be in contact with it.

Great toy!
I got this toy for my twin sons when they were about 3 months old, now they are 20 months and still love him! He attatches great to the front bar of my Twin Savvy. He makes alot of noises and still keeps them occupied. WE do have to rotate toys now that the twins are older and get bored easily, but Pupsqueak is a favorite! He withstands washings and teething, spit ups, and biting, and even attempts to drop him off the stroller! He makes a cute barking noise and he has alot of little things for a baby to teeth on and to look at. My sons like to fiddle with the rings and hold him, they enjoy listening to him and of course "eating" him. I am surprized in the durablility of all my Lamaze toys and I really didnt think that they would last this long! They are just wonderful! My sons get a kick out of pupsqeak and he really is captivating from birth to childhood, a great toy that will last for years!

PUPSQUEAK!
Next to BR Max the monkey (also by Lamaze) and Zach's "lovey", pupsqueak is his favorite toy. Zach is four months old and really really loves pupsqueak. We use him to give variety to our son and Zach really loves him! If we make pupsqueak squeak, Zach goes into hysterics, and my 20 month old twins join in! ITs perfect for those really silent times when everyone needs a good laugh. Along with Max, pups (what we call him) is perfect for tummy time. Pups is also great for teathing, once Zach really starts getting those teeth in! Pups attatches well to almost anything, but my boistrus ball of fire gets so angrey and fustrated if we tether him to anything, he likes to hold him. Pups is very durable and has been easily spot cleaned and even in the wash! The colors are great for my son to stare at and he just loves him. I dont know what it is about Lamaze toys but they sure do put alot of thought into them to make them so gosh darn cute and interesting!

WOW
I am dumbfounded. I have two sets of twins, 8 Month B/B and 3 year old B/G. ALL of them LOVE this toy. My older twins enjoy making him a "baby". And giving him kisses amd making him do all kinds of tricks. They could do this with almost anytoy, but the ADORE pupsqueak. That Said I have 2 others wich I gave to my boys. They LOOVVVEE him too! I was amazed. I dont know if its just because hes a dog, (their lovey toys are a black and white dog and a brown and white dog, and they love our boxer and golden retriever mix) or maybe its just because PUPSQUEAK ROCKS! They love it when I attatch him to their carseats, They just got "big boy" carseats and pupsqeak of course had to make the transition too! A few weeks ago we went on a 8 hour car ride, I know that my youngest twins stayed quite mostly because they were soooo comfy in their marathons, and because they had... PUPSQUEAK! They had the option to play with other lamaze toys, which they loved but those just dont compare to pupsqueak. They even like him in the crib and in the stroller, a versitile little toy. And A toy that for 12 bucks will last THREE YEARS, wow talk about getting a bargin! Pupsquek is definatly NUMBER ONE FOR MY LITTLE BOYS! Well maybe number two, but no one ever beats their loveys Puppy and Doggy! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Get ready to learn shapes, colors, numbers, letters, face parts, animal sounds, and more with Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang! This Sing & Teach Table features tons of buttons and other interactive gadgets that prompt fun lessons for babies and toddlers, all in the wacky, weird voices of the Muppets. (Presumably, tots are familiar enough with the characters to understand all the squeals and growls.) The semi-circular shaped plastic table stands 12 inches high, not counting the waggling Elmo head that presides over the action. Children sit or stand at the table, lifting the Cookie Monster head to learn about "open" and "closed," spinning a drum for the alphabet song, or picking up a cell phone to hear The Count soliloquize about numbers. Bright, cheerful, and noisy--just what the toddler ordered. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

We LOVE Elmo!
My son LOVED this toy.We bought it for him when he was 8 mos. old and he played with it non stop, that is, until IT stopped working.After only 3 months of use Elmo's head stopped working (that's what my son loved most about the toy was the moving Elmo).So we called Fisher Price3 and of course they would replace the item, but we would have to pay shipping and after paying $35.00 for a toy, I didn't think I should have to pay more for a defective toy.We were dissapointed with Fisher Price's lack of concern about the quality of their products.But for the 3 months it worked, my son loved it!It was his favorite!

Cute but Elmo's head quit moving within 3 months
My daugher LOVES this table and still plays with it, but Elmo's head is supposed to move back and forth while the music plays.She got it for Christmas and she was not rough on it at all and by Easter Elmo's head no longer moved.Other than that it still works fine and she still enjoys it.But she takes her little hand and manually moves Elmo's head back and forth and looks at him like "hey, what's wrong?"Overall a cute toy to teach about eyes, nose, ears, etc. and the alphabet.Plus good for when they are first learning to stand up.

Twin daughters LOVED it!

Great!
I bought this because I liked the reviews so far and was looking for something that had more padding than the other mats out there (we have hard wood floors throughout the house).

I couldn't be more delighted with Lotty!The pillow mat is great and the fun toys are educational and great for our 3 month old.Mamas and Papas toys are always of great quality and this is no different!

LOVE THIS MAT
I just bought the Dylan Dog Playmat, basically the same thing, but a dog, for my month and a half old daughter.I brought it home and put her on it, and she loves it.She just kept smiling at the mirror above her head, and she was interested in all of the toys hanging around her.This is really the first thing that she has shown a lot of interest in besides her Pupsqueak toy.I can't wait until she wakes up from her nap to have her on it again.

Besides all that, I think the construction and looks of this mat are the best that I have seen.I love the fact that it is fluffy like a pillow instead of flat on the floor like the others.I would highly reccommend this mat to anyone that I know.

Twins loves it
We have twin boys and they love playing on the playmat. We've had it for 2 months now and have no complains so far. ... Read more

Not Impressed
We bought this keyboard for our daughter at Christmas, when she was 6-7 months.She didn't care for it then, even when I was showing her how to use it, and she's a year now and still only hits the top buttons to get it to play by itself.I think it's great that it can play animal sounds or keyboard sounds, but remarkably, one of my biggest complaints is that even on the loud setting it's too quiet!The keyboard sounds are really muted and dull, and I can see why it doesn't hold her interest for more than a few seconds.She's an active kid, and this just isn't for her.I think she's be better off with an old fashioned xylophone to bang on!That will give her results!

so far so good....
Now that our tiwns just turned 6 months old we are staring to get more of their bigger toys out. We got thi one out, i think a month and a half ago. We used the music mode a lot then. Now at 6 months old we started to use the animal sounds. And they just love it. They smile and laugh! The music and lights are wonderful and can keep their attention for long periods of time. Most of all our Baby Einstein prodcuts are wonderful and the kids love them! They keys are easy to push and dont stick like some other toys we have. It is a great interactive toy that the kids will be able to use for months.

A hit with everyone
I bought this for my toddler who loves music and is delayed in fine motor skills.I feel that the keys are small enough to encourage her to use one finger at a time as opposed to just pounding at it, and the added benefit is that they switch to animal sounds, which she also loves, so it will encourage her more to hit one individual key at a time.She loves the music and flashing lights.I love the fact that the sounds are more muted.It seems so many toys today with sounds blare the noise, this is actually pleasant to listen to and has volume control to boot.The only problem I have is that my 4 yr old keeps stealing it from her little sister to play with it! ...

Great toy!
I received this activity center at my baby shower for my daughter.It was a total surprise since I hadn't asked for one.I am so glad that I received this center!

My daughter started to play with this at 11 months old.She absolutely loved it.The music was perfect for her - not too loud or too soft.Except for 1 piece that the child is supposed to lift up (too hard to do even for a mommy!), the movable parts are great.

We never put this toy into her crib so I can't say whether or not it's appropriate.We played with this in the mornings as part of her routine.She really enjoyed it & missed it when I finally donated it to another baby.

Cute toy
My daughter received this as a gift and loves it.She often plays with it in her crib and every few months, we flip sides so she does not get bored.I wish the side for the older kids had more "activity" type toys rather than mostly music.

Love it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was just a few months old and she absolutely loves it.We have not used it as a crib toy, only on the floor.This way it is easier to flip from side to side and take advantage of both sides. She loves the spinning toys on one side and pop up critter on the other.Highly recommend it! ... Read more

Baby Loves It!
I picked this book up in a desperate attempt to entertain my 10 month old baby on long road trips.He is a big paper eater, so even board books can't withstand his gnawing.This book definately did the trick. He can bite on it all he wants and it looks as good as new. After five months, my 15 mo old still loves this book and it's a big hit at playgroup.

A fun book for a musical child
My 9-month-old daughter was entranced with this book when we showed it to her in the store, and so we had to buy it.It has kept her entertained in the car on many road trips and even at home.It was her favorite toy for a long time.She would rock and bob her head to the nursury rhyme songs.She loved pushing the buttons to make things go.She learned "star" from this book, and to "moo" like the cow.She points at the pictures of dogs and cats.She is now 15 months old and though it is no longer the favorite toy, she still enjoys playing with it.

The book is educational in that it rewards pushing buttons, sliding switches, and turning pages with noises and songs.If your child likes musical toys, she or he would like this toy.As a parent, I did not find this to be very annoying.The music was catchy and the little voice of the person singing was cute.The book asks questions ("where is the cow?") to prompt baby to point or push buttons or say the answer.It takes AA batteries, and ours have lasted a long time (only being replaced once in 6 months), despite a lot of play time.

Your baby will love it!

Cute and durable
My son got this as a gift for his 1st birthday and he loves the way the book lights up and reads to him.The interaction is great because he can play with the peices in the story.I love that the plastic is so durable.He has other baby books that just don't pass the test.

My only gripe is that there is no "off" switch and that can be annoying.It automatically shuts off after a while but if the button on the front cover gets pressed or the book wasn't closed, you can accidently start it up.Happens all the time in the baby bag. ... Read more

Don'twaste your money!!Buy something else instead!
I just purchased this toy for my 9 month old daughter a few days ago.I wasn't sure if I shoud because the reviews didn't look to great.But My daughter loves music and it just looks like fun so I decided to try it out.Well she liked it when it was still in the box and then for the rest of the day after I put it together.And after that she hasn't touched it since.She could care less about this toy.There just isn't enough to do on it.If she was younger and wasn't able to do all the things she can she would probably like it but it is just boring for my 9 month old daughter. So I am returning it to the store to get something she will actually like.So if your baby is not very eaisly entertained (which some babys are) then don't bother with this boring toy.

Annoying fun for your child at first....
This toy was very exciting for my son when we purchased it for him, however, this is one of the most annoying toys you will ever see.The music, though happy and fun at first, gets old VERY quickly.There are three settings but it's always the same song! We prayed for the batteries to die or our son to lose interest which of course he didn't for awhile-HE loved it!He played with it non-stop for days and it was ALWAYS the first toy he went to at playtime.

The problem we have with this toy is that the dancing monkey is too much of a temptation for children.Our son grabbed the monkey and held on until he stopped dancing and started making a funny clicking noise.Once he realized he could stop the monkey, the music and HIS dancing became second fiddle, his goal was to stop that monkey.Well after ONLY 2 or 3 times of this happening the monkey no longer dances the way he used to, the piano/music section ALWAYS seems like the batteries are low, and it basically just stopped working correctly.I am not sure if he broke a wire or it just wore out.This was a relatively expensive toy to "break" so easily and quickly after only about 3 weeks.

If I had it to do again, I think I would have left this one on the shelf.He really enjoyed it at first, now it's just pathetic to hear and see him trying to play with it as the "damaged" monkey spins and dances to the saddened, only partially audible music.......

she loves it!
We got this for our daughter for christmas..she was 6 months then. She loved to look at the lights and monkey then. It actually helped her to sit on her own.She loves to play it and make the monkey dance.We have since moved it up to standing..by far this is her favorite toy! First thing she ever pulled up on!She goes to it mult times a day and just grins ear to ear when the monkey starts to dance.The only thing I dont like is that the "horns" don't play anything.She often grabs ahold of them and they dont do anything. ...

One of my son's favorites
My son is 19 months old. He started enjoying the LT Leappad in the last two months. His favorite book is "If I Were..."

This book shows different animals--horse, elephant, lion, and bear. If you push on, for example the lion it will make the lion noise: Roar. We have so much fun with this book because DS loves pushing an animal to hear the sound. Then he sometimes repeats the sound.

This book, along with the Baby Word Book. has justified the expense of buying the Little Touch Leappad because we have enjoyed these two books so much. ... Read more

Mainly Just Tells the Story
It's great if you just want your child to hear a story, but it's not as educational and exciting as all of the other Littletouch books.

Aggravating
I'm in agreement with the woman who found frustration over her granddaughter's book. I once bought my grandson a set of guitar strings for his birthday. Well, apparently you have to ALSO get a guitar in order for these things to work. Very aggravating to say the least.

By the way, this is a fine product.

Not enjoyable for my 19 mo old son
We got Little Touch Leappad for DS's first birthday and he is now 19 mos old. His favorite book is "If I were.." because he likes the pictures of the animals and the animal sounds.
HOWEVER, he doesn't like "Guess How Much I Love You" at all because it doesn't hold his attention. I think it was a waste of money.
Basically "Guess How Much I Love You" is the same as the regular story book of the same name. Leapfrog added sounds, of course, but the don't fit in well with the pictures. The focus is on instruments and the sounds they make.
If you have a small six month old baby, then this is the book you should buy because it the gentlest of the Leappad books. However, for a toddler, it is just too dull. ... Read more

My 3 year old still plays with this toy!
I bought this toy for my daughter when she was a year old and she immediately took to it.She loved pressing the keys and looking at herself in the mirror.It's two years later and she still plays with it regularly.Now she likes turning the lights off and seeing the light bar around the mirror light up to the sound of the tunes.She also likes hearing the different musical instruments and singing to the tunes.It's held up very well.It doesn't look new, but it also doesn't look beat up either.Even though she knows all her shapes, she still likes pressing the keys and hearing how the shape's name is pronounced.Also, it shuts off by itself if not in use and the batteries last an extremely long time (I think I've only changed them once in two years).

There might be two minuses, though they don't bother me in the least.If your child likes kissing his/her reflection, expect to clean the mirror regularly.Also, some people might think it might be a little loud, though compared to some toys, and in my opinion, the volume is not that bad at all.

All in all, I would recommend this toy for parents of infants who want something durable and will keep their child's interest for years to come.

Great toy!!!!!
I bought this toy for my daughter when she was 4 months old.She loved it!!It has a wide variety of songs and the mirror is very entertaining for little ones.She is now 13 months old and still plays with it.This is one toy she hasn't lost interest in!!
Strongly Recomend!!

Great Toy!!
My son got this when he was four months old.At that age, he liked to watch us play it for him, but at five months he started playing with it himself.The keys are easy for him to press and he really likes looking at himself in the mirror.

There are three different learning modes (colors and shapes, songs, and free play). There are also four different instruments to choose from (banjo, flute, sax and piano).Each instrument plays several different songs which are selected by pressing the instrument buttons surrounding the mirror.The mirror has four flashing red light bars around it that light up when the keys are pressed.

The only complaint I have with this toy is the volume.As with some other Leap Frog toys we own, the sound is too loud on the lowest setting. The speaker is on the upper left side and I find it easy to hold my palm over it to lower the volume when I am helping play with the toy, but I am considering putting some tape over the speaker for times that my palm is not available. ...

Cute for the little ones
Althought the little touch books aren't that durable, this is a good one for the younger set.My 15 month old son likes looking at the baby faces.He really only likes one page so far that shows babies emotions, but that's ok.He isn't really interested in too many of the other little touch books, so one page is ok.

great idea
I love the book and the way it reads to you, but the age group is off. at 6 months and now at 14 months my son just trys to tear it up. he does love the noices though. maybe he will be ready for it a little later on.

Very well done
This book has pages with emotions, good-night items, body parts, musical instruments.Leapfrog did a good job with it--for example on the "emotions" page, you can hear the IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT song with each of the emotions.It is a sweet little book.

One warning:If you buying the book for the Spanish, I have to say that it is not really bilingual.It gives only the names of the objects in Spanish, but then it switches over to English.There are no activities or songs in Spanish. ... Read more

Not that exciting of a toy andtoo loud!
I bought this toy for my 8 month old son. I thought he would enjoy banging the hammer on the buttons.He chews on the hammer and rolls the toy around, obviously this toy does not keep his attention well. It is also very loud. It does have volume control, but it is still too loud.

Just okay...
My 3 year old wanted this toy after seeing it in the store. (She liked the little mole that would pop up and say "Peek-a-Boo!") I didn't think it would hold her attention for very long, but because I also have a 5 month old that can "grow into it", I went ahead and got it. At first, I was really disappointed. It seemed that it didn't do much. Actually, though, after playing with it more with my kids, it's okay, although I definitely think there are better toys out there for your money (more "bang" for your buck, as the saying goes). My daughter likes to pull the tape measure and hear it sing the ABC song, but the lyrics to the other song just go on about what this toy can "teach". It is really quite a dumb song, in my opinion. It's to the same tune as a song on the Learning Home, only with different words. The one on the Learning Home is better (although it's not my favorite either). The music and sounds that go with the other parts of the toy are great--upbeat and fun. I like how it counts as you pound the shapes, and if you stop pounding before 10, it will play a cute, short little melody. It's nice that you don't really have to "pound" either... a gentle press of the shape is all it takes, which will be good for my little one. The slider button names the shape and it's color as you slide it below the shape, but it's pretty hard to slide. My 3 year old can do it fine, but I think even a 1 year old might find it a bit hard to do on their own. The down side to this toy is that it is very HEAVY. It'd also be nice if the tape measure played more than just two songs. I was right about it not holding my 3-year old's interest for long (2-3 minutes is all in one sitting).We'll see how it goes with my 5 month old as she gets a little older.

Not that interesting
I originally had the FP Laugh and Learn Birdbath for my 8 mo old. She loved it.She loved the songs, the shapes and the birds.It broke after about 2 weeks though.So I exchanged it for this, because the price was equal in value, it was also a "laugh and learn" toy, and they didn't have the birdbath anymore.
But....
The songs on this are horrible. She isn't interested in it at all. The songs don't get her attention, the only thing that does get her attention is when it lights up. But, that's to be expected. She used to sit and play with the birdbath for about 5-10 minutes.This won't hold her attention for one minute.
I'm taking this one back too. ... Read more
