I am (or rather my child is) a big fan of Baby Einstein products. Every single one I have rated on Amazon, I have given five stars. Yet while I like this piano a lot, I can't give it five, but only four, because of a few annoying and badly thought out features.SUMMARYGOOD TOUCH TONE EFFECT: The keys don't press, but you just touch them to create a sound. You have one octave, with each key a different colour, so it's good for learning colours as well as for creativity. HOWEVER, the sharps/flats don't work.NICE TONE: Sounds more like a marimba than a piano, but sounds nice.THERE IS AN AUTOPLAY BUTTON: Plays six songs, with excerpts of sheet music provided so (older) kids can play along. HOWEVER,I don't see how any child aged 1-3 (the piano's recommended age) will be able to do this.SHEET MUSIC: You push the sheet music into a slot, and press the autoplay button to hear it. Different holes in the bottom of each piece of sheet music allow the piano to know what to play. This is very clever. HOWEVER, there is nowhere to store the sheet music when not in use. The piano could do with a little storage tray. As the makers should know, kids' toys have a tendency to get battered, and while the sheet music is made of plastic, it will easily get damaged after a while. ALSO, the sheet music indicates notes on the stave, but also uses the colours of the piano keys. This makes it slightly easier for kids to follow, but the colours are a bit off sometimes, and as outline above, it is still really beyond most three-year-olds. Also, the sheet music only covers 8-10 notes, and often ends mid-refrain, which frustrates me when I am trying to play them, let alone any young child who may be able to play it.VOLUME: Two settings, both quite loud. Top setting is very loud.TWO MODES: There is freestyle playing and play-along mode. This is a good idea, but would be better if the sheet music was easier to follow, or if the keys lit up to indicate which one to play.Despite the moans, this is still a very attractive wooden piano, and a great way to introduce kids to instruments. Even without the sheet music, it allows them to explore making sounds and tunes, and to develop knowledge of colours (eg, you can say, play the red note, and the child has to play it). Very reasonably priced for the quality of the product. The marimba-style sound is pleasant and won't annoy parents who are subjected to it too much. Shame about the few flaws, but still a lovely introduction to the piano for budding young musicians.

Baby Einstein Magic Touch UKULELEBaby Einstein are good interactive toys for kids and are useful for the development of little ones.• The Ukulele is nicely presented in a strong open fronted box. To remove the Ukulele just cut the 3 tie wraps that are holding it in place.• Printed on the box the multi-lingual (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian & Portuguese) information provides all Mum & Dad need to know to operate the toy.• The Ukulele is lovely and colourful and really appeals to the little ones. It is well made, and the only part that could be weak, if the children were a bit too rough, is the four strings.• There are no sharp areas on the Ukulele so little fingers are safe.• It is Battery Operated by 3 x AA Batteries.The Batteries are already in place and can be accessed via the back of the Ukulele and unscrewing the Battery Cover. This is a nice safety feature keeping little fingers and mouths away from the batteries.• The Ukulele can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap and then left to air dry. Do NOT immerse in water. These care instruction are printed on the inside base of the box.• The sound of the Ukulele is quite sweet and when in Play-Along Mode, by pressing the Einstein Button, another tune is played. The tunes are a mix of Nursery Rhymes and seasonal ones.I like this toy and it should provide a child with hours of fun. The wood finish on the face of the Ukulele is a nice touch, as is the smiley Frog. There is also the facility on the back of the Ukulele to affix a strap.At time of writing this Review, the RRP is £25.00, which is a little over priced in my opinion.

We have had both Hape and Baby Einstein toys and products over the years and this is a lovely blend of the two.The piano itself is beautifully designed, nice and chunky natural wood with bright painted colours on the keys. There are two volume levels along with an off switch. Little plastic feet prevent it from scratching hard wood floors and its reasonably light to move around.The piano comes with colour coded sheet music for your little one to play and each is double sided on flexible plastic to keep them in good condition rather than paper music. A few have mentioned the coloured dots on the music not matching the keys and the two far right purple and dark pink keys show as light purple anddark purple on the music sheets but as they are at the top end of the scale this has been noticed and isn't a problem.I'm impressed with the music quality which does sound slightly tinny but realistic to an electric keyboard noise. There are two settings - one where your child can play freestyle tapping the keys and the other where they can press the middle Einstein button and it will automatically play tunes. If your child interrupts the music by pressing any key it will continue to play the tune each time your child presses the key no matter which key they press so for example if they repeatedly press the yellow key the full tune will play including high and low notes just from the one key.A lovely piano which would make a lovely gift for a little one just beginning to explore sounds and colours.

I have to say I absolutely love the Baby Einstein Piano. Rather than having proper keys to press down, the piano is a flat piece of wood with a stand and colours printed on the wood – the slightest touch will create the sound of the key pressed and I love that rather than just playing single notes, they can just slap it with their hands and play several at once. It has a few different play options – you can insert one of the cards and learn to play the tunes by colour – they are very short but still a bit advanced for my 21 month old. By flicking the switch you can change it so it doesn’t matter what colour is pressed – it will play the tune from the card.If you don’t press anything for a few seconds it will go ahead and play it then delve into something much more elaborate. There are 3 cards with 6 songs in total. Another option is to just press the big blue button on the front and let it play selected songs by itself. Or they can just hit away and play keys at random to create their own music. My little one absolutely loves it and I love that it can grow with him in terms of learning his colours (although this is adult led as it doesn’t say them) and learn how to follow a piece of music. It’s really well made and seems very durable (he’s tried standing on it plenty of times!). It’s also the perfect size at around 11” x 7” – not too small but will still easily fit in his toy box.

I love the concept of this possibly a little more than the reality. This Baby Einstein is described as a ‘magic touch curiosity tablet. Although there are a number of press button, musical toys on the market, this is lightweight, travel portable and at £20, is very good value.There are a choice of three languages: French, Spanish and English and an on/off toggle at the top of the toy. It comes with batteries pre-installed (hooray!) and these are simple to replace with the aid of a small screwdriver and 3 x AAA batteries. There is, usefully, a battery indicator at the top of the screen.There are 16 colourful rounded squares in total. They are flush to the surface and are touch sensitive (see video).The counting is limited (with numbers from 1-4) and the animals listed are rather eclectic. Descriptions, colours, tunes and sounds can be played by repetitively touching the squares. I did find some of the artistic drawings rather odd: for me the tiger does not look like a tiger, it has been drawn out of context and is, therefore, not so easy to recognise.This tablet is designed for children aged 6+ months. It encourages manual dexterity, listening skills and explores cause and effect. By the age of two, and by personal experience, children will have migrated to the iPad which is more expensive and equally, more easily broken!

I think this Baby Einstein Xylophone is a fantastic toy, that appeals to older children as well as their younger siblings. As an adult the fun thing is trying to work out what melody you're playing when following the lights - it's not always easy.It's well made and feels sturdy. The xylophone comes with a little mallet to hit the coloured notes but it's just as easy (and fun) to use your fingers.It's a simple idea - it has 2 modes, instructor and freestyle. In instructor mode the lights guide you to the correct notes and you push the Einstein button to play a different song, this is great for older children who want to play tunes. In freestyle mode you create your own tunes and the Einstein button changes the background melody,younger children can create sounds and also start to learn colours.I like that there is a distinct difference between the two volume settings. The loud is very loud and the lower setting is bearable for longer playing sessions - especially when your children are freestyling. I wish it had been on the bottom or side of the xylophone, so it's not so easy to change when you've set it at the lower setting. :)Overall - this is a brilliant toy, great value for money with lasting playability.

Beautifully crafted from laminated light woods, this touch-sensitive keyboard is a joy to own. Stable, strong, able to stand up to toddlers, yet delightful looking, most appealing to the eye. Batteries are included.Touching the eight primary coloured keys or the five ebony look keys produces really sweet sounds which reverberate attractively. The tone is good, this is a quality 'musical box' as well as 'learn along with' keys. Six different tunes can be played automatically by the insertion of strong plastic tune cards into the front of the toy. These cards also show the notes by colour required to play a snatch of the melody. Spare cards can be stored behind as on a real piano music stand.Each well-illustrated card has two sides so there is plenty of variety. Your child can follow the coloured dots later to play properly himself.I love listening to the tunes, this is truly entertaining. Baby Einstein has chosen 'proper' music, rippling rhythmically, gently combining a little orchestra along with the piano. Just stroking the flat keys can create a similar tune to those played by the cards. Clever! This could really encourage a youthful Lang Lang. It certainly entrances my eighteen-month-old grandson.

****Please note this review is for a xylophone. There are other reviews on this product page for a play tablet toy.****Sound, lights and banging with a stick...what more does a kid want?This is a really great interactive gizmo. I thought at first that it was all plastic and a very different xylophone to the metal and wood gadget I remember from aeons ago as a kid. But then I realised the keyboard is wood embedded in the plastic framework. It’s kind of the best of both worlds. Modern technology combined with traditional. And it works.It can be used as a keyboard with a range of notes to play, but there are presets to add melodies and sounds and really add to the experience. Lights too,so combined with the banging something theme, I can’t think of many youngsters who won’t absolutely love this. It’s a lot more entertaining for the adult ear than just drums, which all kids love. Plus, there’s real potential for genuine musical learning from this little bit of kit. It’s sturdy and the build seems robust. I know this range has a good reputation so I’m happy that this is good value for money and should provide hours of entertainment.

The whole family love the huge Baby Einstein range. They really do understand little ones and cater for their needs and their development, and all their products are high quality..This xylophone has integral bars in bright colours on a block of wood. Easy to clean and easy to play with baby's fingers when the controls are in Freestyle mode, or an older child can use the attached wand. Coloured lights indicate which note to play next when your little one begins to follow tunes and the controls are switched to Instructor Mode.A larger button changes the tune (lots of them!) and you can turn volume to high or low. Unlike metal xylophones, none of us found the sound annoying!Apart from the enjoyment this toy will bring,with the lights and colours and music, it helps develop motor skills and cause and effect. Other instruments are available in this range, including ukelele, drum and guitar.It is recommended for children over a year old, but many younger babies will have fun with this. It has been made with adherence to safety requirements and the 3 AA batteries (which are supplied) are tucked away in a screw-down compartment.

This wooden and plastic xylophone is a colourful and sturdy interactive musical toy. I would liken this more to a keyboard than a xylophone though; the surface is completely flat which enables you to run your finger across the keys to emit the full scale of notes. There are 2 volume levels, but there isn’t much difference to be honest. In addition, the keys are very sensitive, a light touch only is required; which makes the attached mallet somewhat redundant. It makes no difference in tone if you use your fingers or the mallet on the keys, but you do get an accompanying loud pounding when using the latter.There are 2 settings. There is a ‘freestyle’ mode which allows you to potter around on the keys.There is also an ‘instructor’ mode which plays a variety of recognisable classical tunes. The corresponding matching colours above each key guide you throughout a short burst of classical music, but I have to add I had trouble keeping up with the faster trickier tunes so unless the 14 month year old proves to be a music prodigy …….

The description states this is a wooden toy but it has a completely plastic housing and a sort of wood laminate front. It has 4 strings and two modes with two volume settings and a button you press to change the song. The settings are either it playing music constantly (Twinkle Twinkle, Old MacDonald, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Frere Jaques, Pop Goes the Weasel etc-all the usual nursery rhymes) in a pleasing sort of way. No words, just music. You press the button to move through the songs.The other mode is the freestyle mode which plays real ukelele chords. The volume control is ok although I don't know why they didn't just make 1 setting with the lower volume on it. The strings are robust,as is the rest of the ukelele and it should withstand toddler play. Our toddler testers loved it-they can carry it around and play the ukelele like their dad plays the guitar. It's a great idea if you play the guitar and want to give your toddler something to play with while you practice to distract them that also makes them feel like a grown up.

Multi Language Learning Fun.This is a fun little toy for young children, each press of a button makes a different saying and plays a tune.3 x AAA Batteries are included and fitted in the machine but they will need seating properly before it will work, they are sample batteries and may not last too long.For example pressing the apple button saysApple 
One AppleRed AppleThe Apple is CrunchyThere are 16 buttons in all, Apple, Leaves, Fish, Butterflies, Aeroplane, Car, Submarine, Train, Sun, Umbrella, Rainbow, Moon, Octopus, Elephant, Tiger & BirdThere are 2 volume levels on the On/Off switch.There is also a language switch on the top which is great fun to use to introduce different languages to children,you can set it to English, Spanish or French mode and it does the same but in a different language. Because you know what they are saying it is easy to pick up a few foreign words and phrases, how cool is that for your kids to learn a new language at school a young age.

I’m looking at the Xylophone as this page covers several items.Kids love making a noise and parents hate them making a noise. At least this xylophone has a low volume setting and the noise it makes is somewhat musical. They’re never too young to learn about music. Remember, they may be playing your favourite song but not necessarily in the right order (thank you, Eric Morecombe)!To get them started, the xylophone can play over 30 different melodies all on its own. As it plays, it lights up each key so that they can follow it. Yet again, kids love things that light up and this has a range of colours, one for each note.You can then switch to manual mode where they can play their own tune (earplugs time)!Once again, the lights will light up as each note is played. They can use the supplied stick, or they can use their fingers.Overall, this is a nice musical and educational toy but perhaps a little expensive.

This ukulele’s arrival was timed just right as it was my great nephews first birthday. So, I was able to get an immediate response as to its attractiveness and maintaining an interest.He was strumming it straight away even before it was taken out of the packaging. He even started to cry when his dad took it off him just to unpackage it. His face lit up again when it was returned. Switching the unit on and he was jigging to the music. He soon learnt which button started the next tune.There are three controls on the ukulele. One is a slide switch for turning on the unit and also selecting high or low volume. There is another slide switch for manual tunes or automatic play along when the strings are plucked.The last control is a simple push button for stating the next tune. There are over 30 tunes all together.Overall, it’s a little pricey but if you saw my great nephews face, you would say it’s worth it.

This 'Baby Einstein Magic Touch Piano Musical Toy' is a hybrid wooden and plastic toy, in the form of a toy piano. It doesn't have 'keys' in the usual sense, but a sort of wooden touchpad version, which is quite odd but works well (and reduces the bashing sounds you get when presenting a little 'un with a normal toy piano!). It can be used either as a toy piano or as a music player, as it can play tunes on its own from the special cards (three are included, and they get the toy to play classical tunes, with the option for the child to play the colour-coded notes themselves as they get older). The sound is not quite 'real piano' but it's very good for a toy - my only quibble is that the 'volume'control is only between two settings, and I find the lowest one really quite loud. It is sturdy and the batteries last well.Great looking and educational toy, which is suitable from a year old upwards.
