So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Childcare Product Review: The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table

By Jennifer Dilwortz


This musical table provides many activities for your young child in just one place. The toy not only provides entertainment for your baby to enjoy, but also includes educational modules which aid in children's learning and development.

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table plays over 50 songs. Each corner of the table has a different character that lights up and interacts with your young child. Your baby can learn about letters and numbers, helping with language development. The table can also help with identifying colors, shapes and animals, and developing ideas like cause and effect and whether things are identical or opposite.

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table can play tunes in either Spanish or English, which can be a fabulous stress-free method for parents keen on promoting a multilingual household to introduce Spanish (or English if it is not the primary language in the family.) It is actually 4 toys in 1:

- A computer with tons of songs which helps the baby to learn about letters, geometric shapes and many other lessons;
- A keyboard that may be played, while finding out about colors simultaneously;
- A counting phone that doubles as a teaching tool for numbers;
- A storybook with flippable pages and stories for the young child to learn.

The toy is a table top with many activities. Included in the table are snap-on legs permitting your baby to play while standing up. The toy requires three AA (LR6) alkaline batteries, which are not included. The toy measures in at 18.5 inches by 18.5 inches by 15 inches at full height.

Babies can also play with this toy on the floor, without the snap-on legs. With the many activities, young children will have hours of excitement, learning, and laughing. One of the greatest features is the Imagination mode. In this mode, the toy plays real-world sounds like piano keys, cell-phone tones and plenty more.

There are a few minor issues with the toy. The closing mechanism on the laptop computer snaps shut, which may lead to fingers being pinched if not closed carefully. The second issue is when the table is set on Spanish mode, the toy says everything in English first and then in Spanish. If the child presses the button too swiftly, they won't hear the Spanish word.

Overall, this is a wonderful and educational toy for your baby or daycare center. It comes highly recommended by purchasers on Amazon, and by Childcare Training Info.
