Flashing Lights and Fun Music
The Sing-Along Stage features five fun songs for you and your baby to sing along with. It’s easy and fun for your baby to play with: Just shake the “magical” microphone to start the music! While the music plays, your child will delight in the four dancing spotlights, the pop-up audience of friendly smiling fans, and the big picture mirror to watch him or herself groove. Four musical instruments sit along the bottom of the stage: Baby just presses the horn, the xylophone, the drum, or the guitar to hear them play. You and your child will have great fun singing and dancing together with all of the songs!

Different Stages to Grow with Baby
The Sing-Along Stage includes two levels of advancement for babies and toddlers. Each mode offers just enough difficulty for your little one to be challenged and have fun at the same time. For babies from 6 months of age, the stage is just the right height to sit and play. He or she can discover how to shake the microphone to make a song play! Your baby can also learn how to press each musical instrument to hear it play a solo, learning to differentiate between the different sounds. Musical lyrics are provided for you to sing along with the songs, providing quality interactive time with your baby. As your child gets older, he or she can stand, dance, and groove with the magical microphone while the music plays. In this more advanced secondary mode, the toy allows your child to get creative with the music. Start the song by pressing the button. Shake the microphone to add voice. Press each instrument to add their sounds to the song. This toy requires three AA batteries, which are included in the package. Adult assembly is necessary and requires a Phillips screwdriver (not included).

Attention Getter
My 7 month old daughter got this for Christmas from my parents and she LOVES it. She sits in front of it playing and making faces in the mirror for 30 minutes to an hour at the time. She has to play with it every day! It's been great for her independent play time. I am sure she'll continue to enjoy this toy for quite some time to come. We are happy that it's a toy that will grow with her.


Excited Grandson
My 7 month old grandson loved this toy. I was amazed how quickly he learned the cause and effect activities. He loved the mirror and all the flashing lights and songs. I had read other reviews and saw that some people had trouble with the installation of the legs. We didn't have any trouble at all and it seems very sturdy. It is the perfect heighth for a child who is sitting up. Very fun and interactive.


Fun!
I bought this toy for my 6 mos. old grandson for Christmas, its only been a couple of weeks now and he has turn 7 mos. He loves it! pulls up on it! loves to look in the mirror and the lights and music keeps him entertained, he will crawl away from it but always comes back and plays again! great toy for 6mos and up!!


Fun
My daughter just turned 13 months and enjoys this toy. She loves the songs it plays. The only downfall is that the songs will seem to play on their own when we walk by or something. She does love to laugh at herself in the mirror and thinks it's fun to make faces together. I'd say it is a pretty good toy overall.


Little Superstar Sing Along
My 7 month old loves to sit and/or stand and play with this toy. She loves to play with the various musical insturments to make it work. It did not take long for her to figure out how to use all of the instruments. She also loves that she can see herself and others in the mirror. The microphone is like a rattle so she is always reaching for it to make even more noise. She is still a little wobbly when standing, but she is able to hold on to the toy when standing with very little assistance. It has a wide base so it is harder to tip over. There aere 2 volume settings and 2 play settings. One setting is a sing along/karaoke, the other makes various music as you touch the instruments and plays different songs randomly.

Grows with your Child
The sturdy, plastic-molded, brightly colored table sits flat on the floor for babies to play at while sitting. You can attach the table’s legs to adjust it to accommodate toddlers’ play while standing. And it offers plenty of activities at different levels of learning to keep your child entertained for these early developmental years. Your child will delight in spinning the maraca to hear a fun rendition of the ABC song; playing the colored piano keys to practice motor skills and learn about colors; moving the trombone’s slide to count to 10; and sliding the cello to learn about up and down. Kids can tap on the colorful drum and learn about colors and primary shapes, too. Then, by flipping the pages of the “book” to go from the Learning Mode to the Music Mode, kids can hear more than 40 songs and melodies, including nursery rhymes and fun individual instrument sounds that will have them singing and dancing.

Plenty to Do, Lots to Learn
With all of these activities, your child will exercise his or her memory and problem-solving skills with lots of things to push, pull, turn, open, and close. And with the flip of a switch, the songs and games switch from English to Spanish, offering a great introduction to foreign-language learning. The Learn & Groove Musical Table requires some assembly and needs 3 AA batteries for operation. Batteries are not included.

Love this product!!
I got this for my 8.5 month old son for Christmas. I actually haven't put the legs on it because he doesn't pull up to a stand yet, so the table part can sit next to him on the floor and he can play with it:) He loves the music and lights and can interact with every part of it...my 3 year old also likes to play with it and it is educational for him with the colors, ABC's, up-down, etc. I can't wait until my little guy can stand so I can put the legs on it and give him something interesting to stand and play with!


Great Toy!
This was a gift for my 16 month old granddaughter, is a regular dancing machine! She loves this table, the sounds, music and activities it provides and is the perfect height for her to stand up and "jam" by! I would definitely recommend this toy.


Sturdy and a Lot of Fun
The positive reviews were right! This is a great toy with plenty of things to touch, spin and play with.

In the center of the tabletop is a 'book' that has a single page. When flipped one way, all of the surrounding items become learning toys for vocal music and musical instruments. Flipped the other way, everything switches to alphabet and number learning. It comes with OFF, Low Volume and High Volume settings - as well as a switch for English and Spanish.

A tip for those with infants not yet standing: don't insert the legs right away. Used on the floor without legs, the tabletop works perfectly and is easier to reach for infants still sitting or crawling. Once they're pulling themselves up and standing, go ahead an insert the legs (they're really tough to get out after-the-fact).

The tabletop is sturdy enough for kids to walk and crawl on it. But its heavy enough that it can't be easily lifted or used as a projectile. Once the legs are in, its stable enough for kids to pull themselves up and stand in front of without any worry of toppling.

My 7 month old thoroughly enjoys it - and it was a great purchase.


Childs toy
Purchased as a theraputic toy for 18 month old. She loves it. It is full of sounds and colors. Very entertaining. Encourages baby to stand on knees and pull up.


leap frog musical
My son was given this gift over a year ago and he loves it.. this has been his favorite toy for almost a year.. now he choose other toys over it...but sometimes still goes to play at his musical table. I would recommend this toy for a baby close to one up to one and a half.. they will have fun with all the sounds, music and colors...

Great toy!!!
This gold fish is so-o-o cute!! And NOT the small size that is normally sold. It is nice and plump. The only drawback is the sign-on for the computer site is only good for ONE year. The what?

Webkinz Ganz Large Fantail Goldfish
I purchased the Webkinz Large Fantail Goldfish as a birthday gift for our child who had specifically asked for it as a gift and was THRILLED to have received it. The Webkinz Goldfish was in perfect condition when it arrived, and was packaged nicely. We (my husband and I) were surprised to see that it arrived so soon after ordering it.

The only issue we had was not with the Webkinz Goldfish that we received. The "problem" was that my husband's mom purchased one also as a gift and forgot to tell us!!! Two of the Goldfish gave our child double the joy.
