User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great music for parents and kids
This could very easily have become an annoying toy very quickly. But since the songs that it plays are so fun for parents, I think it’s fantastic. It’s been a great way for my son to learn to pluck the guitar strings, and pull the whammy bar along with the music. My son likes it so much he often picks it as the 1 toy he can take in the car with us. One additional benefit – it has an on/off switch.

4 Stars It’s a hit with all the kids
I bought this for my two year old son who is very much into music right now. We pop in a U2 concert tape and he jumps around and strums along to the songs. As others have said, the little tunes are real songs. The strings can be strung. And the whammy bar is fun too.

My only wish is that it came with a strap. We had to make one out of a nylon strap using the holes in the back used for packing, which works fine. Maybe it’s a safety issue having a strap but other toy guitars have them.

Keep in mind it’s small, but I’ve found that kids from 2 up to 4 years old really enjoy this guitar.

4 Stars Fun songs
My son got this for his 2nd birthday and I think the adults have had as much fun with it as he has. The songs are fun. Reviewed and looked at lots of other guitar toys and this one is so much better than the others. Recommend for little ones.

5 Stars Little Tykes guitar
My son absolutely loves this guitar. He loves to dance, and the guitar has 5 buttons he can press to get a song to play. There are a few strings, so he can pretend to play along with the song. There are several volume settings along with an off switch. It’s size and weight make it easy for him to carry around and play. He can really pretend he’s a rock star with this guitar.

This is definately a toy guitar, though, and not an actual guitar. Music stores do sell small guitars, so I would check there if your child wants a real guitar. My son has one and he plays with both daily.

4 Stars Awesome music and fun guitar
My son loves this guitar and plays with all the time. The songs on the guitar are pretty cool. It is exactly the right size for a 2-3 year old kid and is slick looking

Creative Invitations for a Fun Baby Shower

May 9th, 2009

Giving out invitations for your shower should be something exciting that you look forward to. Although traditional “Its a Boy”and “Its a Girl”invitations are a safe and classic choice, creative invitations are bound to leave your guests itching with anticipation to attend your shower. Today, there are numerous companies that specialize in creative invitations for all types of events.

A “message in a bottle” invitation is a clever way to announce the birth of your baby. These can be purchased from a company or can even be made at home with materials that can be bought at a local craft store. A typical “message in a bottle”invitation is composed of a decorative paper with all the invite details, rolled up and placed inside of a plastic or glass bottle. To customize this idea in order to fit a baby shower, use baby bottles instead of regular plastic or glass bottles, and throw in some colorful confetti.

Personalized candy bars or chocolate boxes are another new trend that has spread around the United States rapidly. These make great baby shower invitations! You can alter and personalize the design of the wrapper to match your baby shower theme. Include all the event details like the date, time, place, and RSVP number. A company can professionally make these invitations, or, you can use a candy bar invitation wrapper template that can be found online to design your invitations.

Cute baby shoes can also be used as adorable little invitations. You can purchase tiny baby booties in the color and style of your choice and place decorative note card invitations inside of the baby shoe. Baby shoe invitations are relatively new and uncommon, but make lovely and charming invitations.

With new technologies emerging, it has become easier to create unconventional invitations like the “baby picture”invitation. When expectant mothers get an ultrasound at the doctor, they can ask for an ultrasound picture. This picture can be used to design clever invitations with a picture of the baby inside of the mothers womb. Many people find this moving and heartwarming.

Another type of invitation that has become possible to create with technology is the e-mail invitation, otherwise known as e-cards or e-invitations. There are numerous different types of e-mail invitations that you simply choose and customize to make it your own. Then, e-mail the invitation to all your guests. For this type of invitation, an e-mail list will be necessary instead of a conventional, mailing address list.

Some more common ideas are invitations cut in the shape of baby bibs, baby bottles, diapers, and other baby-related shapes. These are simple, classy, and chic, and can be bought in a party store or can be designed by you. Now, you can even buy musical baby shower invitations.

The list goes on and on for creative baby shower invitations. There are no right or wrong ways to invite people to your baby shower. These ideas are sure to make long-lasting memories.
