Perfect For: 2-4 Year Olds
Product Features:
- Plays 7 songs
- Plays 22 tunes
- Can record and playback
This super cute alligator keyboard would make a great gift for a toddler.
There are 7 different songs and 22 different tunes to play to. You can also make 4 different instrument sounds and several different tempos. Your child will have a blast recording their own music and playing it back for family and friends, they will be so proud of the music they made. You will also get to hear DJ’s silly laugh when they push certain buttons.
The Baby Genius DJ’s Sing A Long Keyboard says it enhances auditory skills, helps develop fine motor skills, and cultivates hand-eye coordination.
The keyboard is such a cool design it is the shape of DJ’s head, they keys are his teeth, so it looks like he is smiling. Another nice thing is the fact that the volume can be controlled and it does not get very loud.
This is a great toy that kept my husband and baby busy figuring out sounds and tunes. The keyboard is durable, it with stood the banging and dropping of my 2 year old nephew. It is easy to clean when it is sticky from a toddlers hands or just to clean it of germs. I clean mine with a sanitizing baby wipe.
The colored buttons and unique shape of the keyboard make this toy very appealing to toddlers. Older children also seem to be interested in playing with this toy, even adults!

Perfect For: Any Coffee or Tea Lover
Product Features:
- Perfect Temperature Zone with Temperature Control Chamber
- Three Options Lock, Tip & Cool and Sip
- Lock setting seals the mug and is perfect for transporting.
- Tip & Cool setting – The liquid in the chamber is cooled, but the remaining stays warm.
- Sip only cool, palatable beverage.
This is a totally innovative concept in coffee mugs. I don’t know about you, but I drink about half of my coffee and then microwave it because it has gotten cold. This coffee mug is amazing, it keeps your coffee nice and hot, while giving you sip sized palatable coffee. How? You tip the coffee cup and sip sized amounts of coffee moves in the temperature control chamber. The coffee in the temperature control chamber cools to a drinkable temperature, but the rest of your coffee stays hot!
The other cool feature about this cup is the lock feature. No more accidental spills! Brugo is a truly innovative product, not to mention they are super cool looking. The colors are cool (yes, girls they have bright pink!)
