We set out to Toys R Us in search of something to both help our 10 month old daughter learn how to transition from sitting to standing safely and easily, and to help her gain better fine motor control. After browsing the aisles with much nostalgia (they still make Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs!) we picked up LeapFrog Learn and Groove Musical Table (also available on Amazon.com).
She loves it!
The table plays such a wide variety of tunes that we are still hearing new ones a week later. Even better, there is a singing mode where it will sing the ABC’s and 1-2-3’s in BOTH English and Spanish (we play the English one since mom can’t sing along that fast in Spanish 😉 as well as a music only mode.
When Caitlin finds a new sound, she looks to us with a big proud grin on her face. Priceless. The time it gives mom and dad to casually read a book or write a blog post while baby is otherwise occupied isn’t too bad either 😉
