Reviewing Toys

I thought with each review some of you might be interested in other items the company may have coming out or just recently came out, so here’s some for Little First Act Discovery.

Puzzles

-  count n’ match
-  build-a-dream  (This looks like the most interesting)
-  do-re-mi xylophone
-  music rainbow
The Build-a-Dream can actually be built into a drum and each block (puzzle block) is one color and their color is wrote on them. So children can learn their colors and the words that go along with it. My son just loves banging away on things so this would be his favorite toy.

My First Instruments

-  My First Harmonica
-  My First Recorder
-  My First Percussion Instruments

We received the “Music Learning Pal” from Little First Act Discovery for Little A and I must say this would be a very cute gift for a little girl under 2 years old. The one we got was pink so he didn’t seem to like it much, however his sister who adores pink loved it and claimed it as hers. Here’s the review:

Penny the Piano sits on her bottom and has her four paws sticking out. At the end of each paw you can push on them to do something.

Music note: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, clap to the beat
Music note with ABC: piano key sound, Penny talks to them about the piano and how she can be loud or soft. Sing in Harmony. Let’s warm up.
Foot: That’s my foot, let’s dance. Are you sleeping.

From the Little First Act Discovery site:

Penny Piano introduces baby to music learning through songs and interactive play. Teaches basic music concepts such as pitch, harmony, rhythm and more. Baby presses Penny’s arms to make authentic piano sounds, and squeezes Penny’s hands and feet for ABCs, 123s, and sing-along songs!

Two Interactive Play Modes:
Music Learning Mode - Musical activities and messages
Songs Mode – Sing-along songs and clap-along fun
