B. toys- Meowsic- Interactive Cat Piano – Toy Piano & Microphone – Musical Instrument For Toddlers, Kids – 20+ Songs, Sounds & Recording Feature – 2 Years +

If your little one responds enthusiastically to to music, then you definitely want to consider purchasing the B. Meowsic Keyboard. I purchased this in 2010 for our 14-month old grandson's Christmas. Once the toy was turned on, our grandson was hooked. He often spent as long as an hour playing with the various options the keyboard offers.If the large yellow button on B. Meowsic's left cheek is pushed, the toy plays one of 20 familiar children's songs. They are ones you will probably remember the words to - B-I-N-G-O, Hokey-Pokey, The Farmer in the Dell, etc. and you will be able to sing along much to your child's delight. If you don't remember the words, there is a booklet which contains the words to each song included with the toy. Further, the toy allows one to push any one of five buttons on the left paw; the songs then sound as if bells, the banjo, or one of the two other instruments are playing. The fifth button is a cat's meow and adds nothing musical to the song, but does add an annoying - to adults - meow accompaniment to the song. The annoying cat theme is carried further if one pushed the orange cat's face on the keyboard's right cheek; this results in a cat singing one of seven kitty-themed songs set to familiar tunes. Beware, you may find yourself infected with an "ear worm" as a result. Fortunately, B. Meowsic's blue nose s a "stop" button which immediately squelches the song... Keys on the right paw create different musical rhythms when pressed; the ice cream cone is a microphone which actually works!One of the things I liked best about B. Meowsic was the fact that the keyboard contained two full octaves - and, that the sharp/flat keys actually worked. The keyboard is small enough and the touch delicate enough so that younger fingers can easily "play" music. Additionally, one can play chords on this toy which adds another dimension to the child's musical exploration.B. Meowsic is a sturdy toy. Our 14 month old grandson weighs 25 pounds and repeatedly walked across the keyboard as he played with it. He also attempted to carry it several times, and because it is a rather large toy,he sometimes dropped it. B. Meowsic continued to perform without any problem. Finally, this toy goes into a sleep mode if it is left on, but is not being played with - this does help save on batteries.In closing, if you are looking for a toy that is fun, has educational value, and is sturdy - you should consider B. Meowsic. It can be used easily and enjoyed by children who are younger than the age suggested as appropriate. You won't regret making the purchase and your little one will be captivated!DECEMBER 2011 UPDATE: This is one of the best toy investments available. Even after a year, our grandson plays with B. Meowsic regularly and enthusiastically. It has helped him understand that playing a keyboard does not require banging with a fist or both hands. He treats B. Meowsic like he does the big piano, playing with one finger touch. We love it - and you will, too!

Got this after I saw my baby watching someone play with it on YouTube. He was so excited to play with it. Works as described. Cute gift!

I bought this to use as a white elephant gift for a Christmas party with all musicians. It was a HIT. And I also just love it in general, who doesn't love playing contrapuntal meow sounds??? 10/10 for kids and adults alike

My Granddaughter has this and we play with it often. We dance to the music. Make up songs and get silly. It is not annoyingly loud and you can make different tones. We have so much fun with it I lifted this purchased one to my great nephew.

Exactly the same as the one sold at Target. The only reason I didn't buy it from Target is that Target is out of my way. This you is hilarious and fun.

Muy bueno, lo único a mejorar que el volumen un poco bajo

This products is unique and fun. Kids love it and I have to admit the meow sounds are amazing. Easy to use and very well built. Highly recommended.

You get A Lot for Your Money. I am Pleased with the Many Functions on this Device. Most Importantly, My Granddaughter Loves 😻 It!
