Features Learn about numbers, counting, opposites, colors, tempo, pitch, music styles, and more A friendly dancing character comes to life as baby plays There's an interactive songbook with pages to flip, colorful light-up keys, charming sing-along songs, and lots of busy activities all around Turn the dial for fun music and sounds Features Learning, Musical Fun and Imagination modes Editorial Reviews Theres nothing like watching small children fall in love with music. This baby grand will play Cupid to a toddlers relationship to music. Just the right size for little fingers, with bright colors, lights, and familiar songs and learning concepts; kids will need no introduction before getting in there and starting to tickle those ivories! Three modes of play encourage children to enjoy music, learn basic concepts (alphabet, counting, opposites, etc.), or just play notes and chords on the eight-key keyboard. A plastic songbook (built into the piano) uses numerals on musical notation to teach aspiring musicians the correlation between the sounds they hear, the notes on the page, and the keys on the keyboard. Slides and buttons and dials can be manipulated to adjust tempo, pitch, and style, while a metronome keeps time. And a friendly maestro monster looms over the piano, dancing as your artiste creates composes her or his opuses. The music, as with so many childrens toys, is moderately unpleasantnursery rhymes meet lounge jazzbut not the worst youll ever hear. And the joy toddlers will get out of playing their own melodies, as well as the potential for learning, far outweighs the burden of listening to cheesy tunes. Or you can just keep it in note-playing mode, and skip the pre-recorded tunes altogether! Three "C" batteries required (not included). Some adult assembly is required. --Emilie Coulter Product Description Little ones can rock out with their very own Baby Grand Piano!

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism We got this toy as a gift for my daughter's first birthday. The piano is great except for one thing. Little hands get stuck in the slot the sun moves in. The sun moves from side to side during certain songs, and my daughter and her friends love to grab at it when it starts doing this. Inevitably, someone's hand always gets pinched and makes them start crying/screaming. If Fisher Price ever redesigns this toy, I would recommend removing the sun from the toy or making it where it's immobile. I know this will probably not make the toy as fun, but safety comes first in my book. I give it three stars because of this hazard.
