Two toys in one case: turn it over and the telephone becomes a piano. On the telephone side an orange handset hangs from a cord next to a yellow keypad with twelve keys - the digits 1 to 9, the zero, a star and a hash. Every key has a sound of its own.
The keyboard is on the other side. Your child presses the keys, music comes out and the lights come on. At this age it is all cause and effect: I press, something happens. That holds the attention for months, and meanwhile small fingers get their practice and your child learns to tell the colours of the keys apart.
A handle on top lets your toddler carry the whole thing from the living room to the play corner. The unit runs on batteries. The roundel on the packaging reads 12m+, so from 12 months.
A rewarding present for a first birthday: familiar toys that do something the moment you press them. Playgo, item number 2185.
