Baby Genius DJ’s Sing A Long Keyboard

by Shannon on December 1, 2009

baby genius

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.keyboard 2

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!

    • 1 MagnaKase – Magnetic Dry Erase Activity case with 2 magnetic surfaces.
    • 4 double-sided Reusable Color and Erase (8″ X 10″) sheets.
    • 2 magnet strips (8″ X 1″) that secures coloring pages to the activity surface, for coloring with crayons, color pencils or markers while on the go.
    • Foohy Washable dry erase, low odor, thinline markers 6 count (Manufactured by Sanford Corporation).
    • 1 Felt eraser. The 2″ x 1 3/8″ x 11 1/16″ eraser is made from recycled wood and is virtually indestructible.

    This is a must have gift if you take long distance trips! This coloring set has everything needed to keep the kids busy in the car, while waiting for appointments or just to play at home!

    The magnetic board (which by the way does not contain magnets, instead the MagnaKase is a case with magnetic receptive surfaces that serve as an activity board. Metal objects will NOT stick to the surface) allows the activity sheets to stay in place for the children. The dry erase board is a fantastic way to allow children to explore their creativity, even if they “mess up”. This is a great toy to take to grand mom’s house too!

    MagnaPlay offers a full line of products to be used with the MagnaKase, making this gift very versatile.
