Guide Review - Baby Einstein Toys Review | Baby Einstein Learning Sounds Piano

This piano has a set of kid sized keys with animal faces on them. The keys are designed so that little fingers can easily press them. There are 2 different settings, one with music and the other with animal sounds.

Each key has the face of an animal on it, including animals like a monkey, a bird, a cat, a dog, a frog, a sheep, a mouse and more. When in the animal sounds mode, pressing any keys results in the sound of an animal on the pressed key calling out. When in the music mode, each key emits a musical note.

There is also a volume control knob with 2 settings, one for soft and the other for loud music. The knobs are also very kid friendly, and easily turnable. Kids can easily switch between music and animal settings for added fun.

On the top of the piano are 2 musical notes which when pressed, result in the keyboard changing colors very prettily. Classical music sounds, and at the same time, when any key is pressed, the sound of that key can also be heard, which is a nice touch.

This is a great item to occupy and fascinate young kids. It can be used for a wide range of ages. Little babies will love the lights and music. Slightly older kids will delight in pressing the keyboard and seeing the lights and hearing the animal sounds.
