This toy is part of eToys.com’s 2008 Holiday Toy Guide.   Babies, although absolutely adorable, are extremely messy!  They love to get into everything and make a mess as they explore the world around them.  This musical fingerpaint set allows them to go crazy and get creative with “goop” that is sort of like fingerpaint, but it does not make a mess.  When your baby touches the goopy surface, music plays!

I think Fisher Price’s musical toy Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage is great.  I remember when I was a child my sister and I had one of those guitars that had a microphone attached to it.  We loved it!  I think my mother may have wanted to kill us when we would go on & on for hours. 

Musical toys are a great way to help you kids dance/exercise, sharpen their hand-eye coordination skills, visual skills, auditory skills & more. 

This toy is recommended for ages 6 months and up so I’m sure it will be a long time before your child grows out of it. 

You can buy this toy at The Baby Center Store for $40.49.
