Delightful Surprises for Baby to Discover
The Fun With Friends Musical Table includes four toys in one: a Laptop full of music and phrases lets baby discover the alphabet, shapes and more; a Piano helps baby learn colors and music; a Counting Phone teaches numbers and even has a removable receiver for role-play fun. There’s also a Book with pages to flip, which introduces words, animals and the concept of stories. Best of all, the Fun With Friends Musical Table grows with your baby. Younger babies can sit and play with busy activities using just the tabletop. Legs easily snap on so toddlers can cruise around and learn! There are four different modes to enjoy: Learning; Music; Imagination; and Bilingual play, which introduce letters, numbers and learning concepts in Spanish.

Benefits of Discovery Play
Rhythm, rhyme, and music are great ways to help babies learn. The songs and activities waiting to be discovered help introduce baby to sing-along learning, role play, and using their imagination. Four friendly light-up characters interact both with baby and with each other, encouraging baby to stand & cruise, and enhancing gross motor development. There are lots of colorful keys to press, which build baby’s fine motor skills and reward their curiosity. Each delightful discovery helps promote baby’s thinking and problem-solving skills by teaching action & reaction. The songs and stories also develop language skills by encouraging words and introducing the concept of storytelling. You can help your baby make connections between words and objects by pointing to them and repeating the words they hear in English and Spanish. “See the triangle, triangulo? There’s the number three, tres.”

Other Ways to Laugh & Learn
Babies learn more when they feel at home. Combining familiar objects, everyday discoveries, and your baby’s never-ending sense of wonder are the basis of the Laugh & Learn collection of toys from Fisher-Price. Make learning more fun with Laugh & Learn favorites like the Dance & Play Puppy, the Sweet Sounds Picnic, and the Smilin’ Smart Phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great activity table! September 5, 2008

By Dawn Holder

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

My son is 9 months old and just received this toy as a gift. He LOVES it! It has a lot to entertain him with, and he just loves flipping the computer open and shut. He laughs every single time.

I like that it has a few different settings that include ABCs, music, an interactive real life sounds and Spanish with English translation. My only complaint about it is that it doesn't have a volume control like so many Fisher Price toys have!! However, I really haven't been too bothered by it, as the songs aren't very long and are actually rather cute. I find myself singing along with them frequently.

I love that the ABC setting includes numbers, too. Each individual number can be pressed on the telephone. My son also has the Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Table, but it doesn't have a lot of the different features this table has.

I would definitely recommend this toy, it's great.

4.0 out of 5 stars My boy LOVES this toy. November 4, 2009

By GreatOutdoors

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

My 9 mo boy has been playing with this every chance he gets since he was 7 mo. I also know the LeapFrog Learn & Groove(tm) Musical Table because my niece has it. I like this one better because it has a lot more going on. Both kids seem to like this one better if given their choice.

I put the legs on it immediately as he was already starting to lean on furniture, but as other reviewers note they are easy to take off (unlike the leapfrog), which is great for packing. It has been great to see him get more and more steady on his feet. He can now crab walk all around it to choose which toy he wants to use. It looks like great exercise and that is my favorite thing about the toy. of course, he fell backwards a few times while practicing his standing, but that's just in the nature of the toy: do not use unsupervised. Probably best used on carpet.

Others have complained that the computer closes hard and kids can get there fingers trapped. I have to say that although it makes a loud noise, it does not close with any force. Closing the computer with his hand in it seems to be one of my son's favorite things to do and he does it often with no indication of pain or injury. He just slides his hand right out and is in no hurry to do so.

Actually, the biggest problem is that he likes it so much it is sometimes hard to get him off it. When he does get off it and we start to get into a good game of peek-a-boo, it actually pipes up with "hey, I wanna play" and he actually leaves me to go play with it again. I guess there is a timer in it that makes it say this after it is inactive for about 30 seconds. Now I turn it off immediately when he gets off it so it will shut up. I also hide it from view for a few hours a day so that he will play with me, his other toys, visiting grandparents, etc.

Another gripe: the Spanish mode says everything in English first. Since he presses the buttons one after the other, he sometimes doesn't even hear the Spanish word. I don't understand why they need to translate everything from English, since he doesn't even speak English yet. Also, the songs are still in English. So it hardly speaks any Spanish at all. If it is very important to you that your child learn Spanish, the Leap Frog does it better.

All in all, I'm very satisfied with it. I think that it is helping him with walking. I have gotten more than my money's worth and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Table October 9, 2008

By E. Bylund

My children (even the 5 and 3 year old) love this table. The songs are catchy, but if they start to get too annoying, you just switch the mode to something less noisy, such as the imagination mode where each button just makes a funny sound. In response to the first review about there being no volume control, there actually is a switch under the table that changes the volume from loud to soft.
