User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Our 3 kids really like it!
We got this for our son’s 3rd birthday and it’s been a big hit! All 3 of our kids (ages 4 1/2, 3 & 1 1/2) are able to use it since it adjusts in height. I think this will be used for many years to come! It is not extremely stable and sturdy even when weighed down with water, but it hasn’t fallen over or anything and I think it will hold up well even with kids being a little rough with it. Overall, we really like it!

3 Stars It’s Alright…
Once the product arrived, obviously, I was excited to set it up. I didn’t realize it required sand to fill the bottom. It’s very unsteady without it. My daughter (who is 26 months) doesn’t pay much attention to it. When she does play with it, it’s usually with any ball she can find (which is ok by me.) It was a good buy, since she’ll play with it for some time to come. I wish I would have known about the sand ahead of time, though, so I could have bought some before it arrived. Pretty good product, overall.

2 Stars fun but not durable
my 3-year-old son loves this. But the board quickly bent forward, I saw one in a daycare the board bent forward over 50 degree, which makes me worry about how long we can play with this set.

same product from Fisher price looks a lot better.

5 Stars Fun!
My son loves this toy! He got it for Christmas so he was almost a yr and a half old. It’s the only toy he has that he plays with every single day. I am planning on taking it outside this summer for him. Love it!

5 Stars Awesome Toy for my 18 month old nephew
We were pleasantly surprised that our gift to my 18 month old nephew was a hit at Christmas. He LOVED his basketball hoop and ball. He couldn’t even wait for us to get the net on the hoop, he started slam dunking the ball immediately, and was so happy playing with it!! The entire family was entertained by his antics for at least 15 minutes, which for a toddler is a lot of time to dedicate to one activity. Awesome, awesome gift.

5 Stars Great for the baseball enthusiast!

There is some small assembly when you get this toy, but it’s super easy, and takes five minutes. It works fantastic. I even had fun hitting the balls in my house. My son is 3 y.o and likes hitting the ball from the t-stand. The balls so far have not gotten stuck. I do wish it came with more balls, b/c you spend so much time chasing them. Overall, does what it promises, no problems, and I would recommend this toy.

4 Stars just as described!!!
This is a great product. My 4 year old son and his 2 year old sister have already played with the batter a lot!!! It definitely helps with skill set for my 4 year old and I think it will do so for some time to come. The only suggestion I would have is 3 balls are not enough….contact Fisher Price for more!!!

2 Stars Doesn’t hold up to 3 year old play….
My three old grandson played with this using the middle level of pitching balls for about 10 minutes when the batteries had to be replaced! I was very disappointed in it’s quality.

4 Stars cscarter
This toy is great fun for my 2 year old grandson and 6 year old granddaughter. My order was shipped promptly and received in less than a week. Thanks!!!

4 Stars a great way to learn to hit a baseball
I bought this toy for my grandson’s 4th birthday. He loves baseball and really enjoys this toy. He likes to have the ball pop up rather than use the toy as a tee, but he does sometimes use the tee. After he hits the ball, he runs around the yard, then picks up the ball and starts over again. I think this is a wonderful toy to help train a child to hit a ball. It saves the parent from having to stand their and keep throwing the ball to the child. I definitely recommend this toy for any child (boy or girl) who loves to play baseball!

4 Stars Wholesome Fun
My son loved this toy. It is durable and easy to use. Lots of fun at a low cost.

4 Stars Our son LOVES this toy!
Our son is only 20 mos. old and he’s totally figured this one out. He loves anything with balls and the outdoors. He figured out how the ball drop feature works and can actually hit the ball with the club. The clubs are a little big for him, but he doesn’t care. I love that there is storage for everything.

4 Stars Great toy to introduce the game of golf!
This is a great little golf set. Love the way the balls drop right onto the tee. My daughter is not yet 2 and gets excited to play with it! My only complaint is the club handles tend to slip out the back of the ‘bag’. Otherwise super cute and fun! Comes in pink also.

5 Stars Great golf set
This toy is so much fun for my 18 month old son. He loves it. It offers great motor skill challenges. Thanks

5 Stars fun toy, not so educational
This toy is really great for kids to play around with. It’s safe and works at this age group. If you are looking for a kid to learn something, not so much, but really helps with hand eye coordination.

Fisher Price Little Superstar Sing Along Stage

January 26th, 2010

Fisher Price Little Superstar Sing Along Stage




Give your little one an exciting introduction to music with the Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage from Fisher Price. Created for children ages six months and up, the Sing-Along Stage offers plenty of interactive musical features designed to grow with your child. The toy features “Instruments” that activate sounds when their buttons are pressed, and you and your child can sing along with and dance to five fun songs.


What We Think


Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Toy offers many stages of learning fun, making it a fun, educational, and economical choice

The Bad: Assembly is made difficult by irregularly sized screw holes

In a Nutshell: Interactive, musical toy gives your child a fun introduction to making music


At a Glance

Ages: 6 month and up
Requires: 3 AA batteries (included); Philips screwdriver for assembly and for installing fresh batteries

Give your little one an exciting introduction to music with the Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage.

Features include “Instruments” that activate sounds when their buttons are pressed and five fun songs.

An Exciting Experience for Your Little Performer
The Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage features a large picture mirror, framed by exciting blinking lights at the top and an “audience” of smiling, cartoon babies at the bottom. Musical instruments with happy faces sit below: a guitar, a keyboard, a drum, and a trumpet. Each instrument has moving parts that activate sounds. The toy comes with a “magic” microphone, which is really a rattle. Shake it, and the sound of the rattle will activate songs and other fun sounds. The lights blink as the music plays, making a spectacular show for your little one to enjoy.

Sing Songs or “Compose” You Own
The toy includes two modes, which are easily selected by sliding a button at the top of the toy. The “sing-along” mode plays five different fun songs, which are activated by shaking the magic microphone or pressing any of the buttons on the musical instruments. Younger babies will enjoy listening to the music and watching the lights blink. They’ll also love hearing you sing along with the songs. (We were happy to find that the toy comes with lyric cards.) As your child gets older, she can learn to sing along with you, too.

Select the “build-a-song” mode for your child to experiment with sounds herself. When she shakes the “magic microphone,” a voice singing a “scat” will start. When your child plays with any of the musical instruments, she will hear that instrument play. It will continue to play a “solo” until she presses the buttons on any of the other instruments. Their sounds will then be added to the instrumental piece. For example, press the drum, and a back beat will be added. In all, the toy has three different, jazzy “add-on” instrumental pieces — even our adult toy testers enjoyed these catchy, authentic-sounding tunes. The toy also says several fun phrases, as well as the sound of cheering and applause, encouraging children to dance or sing along.

Musical Toy Grows with Your Child
While we love all of the musical features of this toy, we especially like that the Sing-Along Stage is designed to grow with your child, which means that your child will get a lot of use out of it while making new discoveries as they get older. The toy stands at the perfect height for six-month-old babies to play with while sitting. They will enjoy looking at themselves in the large picture window, watching the blinking lights, and experimenting with the cause and effect features of the buttons. Our two-year-old toy tester also enjoyed this toy — she loved dancing and singing along with the songs.

The toy requires just a little bit of adult assembly, which is where we encountered our only problem: the legs need to be screwed on to the toy to allow it to stand, but the holes for the included screws were not sized properly. This made it difficult for us to manually tighten the screws satisfactorily. However, the toy was still able to stand sturdily for safe play

. The Sing-Along Stage requires 3 AA batteries, which are included.

What’s in the Box
Sing-Along Stage, “magical” microphone, three AA batteries.

5 Stars A hit for both Grandchildren!
I bought this item for my Grandaughter as a first birthday gift. Not only does SHE love it, but her 3-year-old brother does as well. In fact, they started fighting over it about five minutes after it was put together! It’s a fun and durable toy.

5 Stars Worth every penny!
This toy was bought for my Granddaughter when she was 6 months old. She wasn’t sitting up for a long period of time so we ignored the legs and just leaned the mirror against the side of the crib. The toy was an instant favorite! Once she was able to sit up we attached the legs and now she’s loving the music and lights. Her face just lights up when ever she presses the buttons! This toy is a must have! The songs are cute and don’t get old ((unlike some other toys we have)) and you can change the instrument that’s playing the song. I.E. if the wiggle song is playing, you can press the drum and the drum is playing the tune, the piano and then the piano is playing the song, so on and so forth. If you have the chance, purchase this toy!!!

4 Stars Great Toy For Independent Sitters
My 9 month old daughter loves this toy. She talks to herself in the mirror and loves the microphone and all of the buttons and music. It is very upbeat and one of the better toys I have purchased for her.

Their are 2 downsides. One is that if the baby pulls on it it can tip over. The second is that the music plays continually and does not go off on it’s own when it is not in use.

Other then that I would never trade this toy in. She adores it.

5 Stars One of the best baby toys out there!!
I would have never guessed this toy would be such a hit with my baby! (and my 2 year old likes it, too.) We’ve had it since she was about 6 months old. She is now almost a year and still spends time playing with it several times a day, every day (and she has lots of things to choose from!). Just today, she was sitting in front of it, looking at herself in the mirror and laughing. She can pull herself to standing on it without it tipping over. The songs and music are catchy and fun and she just loves to bang on the piano keys (which are connected as one big piece), the drum, and spin the ball on the guitar. The older kids sometimes play with the microphone, but other than that, it doesn’t get used much (if at all) by baby. I love that it has an on/off switch and volume control. If I could add one thing to it, it would be a molded plastic little pouch or pocket on the back to store the song cards in. You don’t really need them, but it would be nice if they had a “home”. Also, the mirror isn’t that great of quality. The kids don’t seem to mind, but I would love it all the more if it had a better quality mirror. All in all, though, this toy is totally worth having! I’m so glad we purchased it for our little one!

5 Stars My son LOVES it! Worth every penny
We have had this since my son was 4 mo old, and he LOVES this toy. At 4 mo old I would put him in his bumbo and set this in front of him and he would have the best time and sit and smile at it. He is now 7 mo old and although i can’t just sit him in the Bumbo anymore and expect him to stay, he will still sit in his Bumbo supervised and plays with this toy, he still loves it! One of the best investments for him to date! Highly recommend it!

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Say Please Tea Set

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Say Please Tea Set



User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Cute as a Button!
Cute as a button and easy for little fingers to hold and maneuver. The pieces of cake are Shape-Sorters for busy little minds. The “Say Please” tea pot is a wonderful way to gently remind children about that magic word “Please” … Great idea! Worth every penny!

5 Stars teapot
My eight month old daughter loves this toy! I got it for her when she was six months and she has enjoyed playing with it nearly every day since. The sounds and songs are really cute and she loves pretending to drink from the cup. Even my older niece (3 yo) enjoys it.

5 Stars Very cute!
My daughter got this for her birthday when she turned one, she dances to the songs and she loves playing with it almost everyday. The only downside is that there are only two songs, it does teach some useful phrases such as when you open or close the lid and makes gurgling sounds when you tip it to pour “tea”. Overall its a excellent product and my daughter really enjoys playing with it.

5 Stars tea party
2 year old Daughter loves it, very cute she just keeps wanting to put water in the tea pot to make tea.

5 Stars Adorable!
My daughter just received this toy as a first birthday gift. It is absolutely adorable! She holds the teapot and presses the buttons that play different songs (in a slight British accent–too cute), and she rocks back and forth, back and forth, back and forth to the music. We love watching her play with it!
