Teacher Review

Toddlers love to hear their favorite nursery rhyme songs, and of course they love anything with sound effects and flashing lights. This electronic musical toy is 45 inches long and 11 inches wide, with a large, one-octave keyboard sporting a plastic handprint on each key and a red button above that flashes when the key is played. The keyboard can be played in five different tones: piano, bells, doggie barks, kitty meows, or birdie tweets, and in several modes: complete songs, free-play mode, or preprogrammed mode. The preprogrammed mode is an interesting feature that will help preschoolers (or their parents) learn to play the eight familiar songs. The tiny red light flashes, you play that handprint, and follow along until--hey, you're making music! The musical mat has a wipe-clean plastic surface, and it requires two AA batteries (not included). --Marcie Bovetz, mother and former children's librarian

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT toy!, August 29, 2001

This review is from: Musical Hands Mat (Toy)

Our two-year old loves this toy, and he's had it since he was 18-months (when he also loved it.) The sound quality is really, really good, but besides that it's a lot of fun for him to make music without the fear of breaking little keys. Everytime we have friends over with their little ones, they end up wanting to know where we got this, because their kids end up loving it too.

My 11 month old daughter found this delightful toy at her new daycare center. She absolutely is fascinated on a daily basis by the music, colors, and sounds this toy provides. All of the children seem to enjoy the mat. We are buying one for her for her birthday. It's definitely a favorite not to mention a "Must Have".

This review is from: Musical Hands Mat (Toy)

This was given to my 18 month old son last Christmas. He enjoyed playing with it daily for awhile. I recommend not putting this in the toy box. Now a year later it has some problems - it only plays when IT wants to. I do like this toy, but it needs to be well taken care of to last.
