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

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table plays over fifty songs. Each corner of the table has a character that lights up and interacts with your child. Your child can learn about letters and numbers, helping them to learn to count aloud and speak their first words. The table can also help in identifying colors, shapes and animals, and developing cognitive concepts such as cause and effect and whether things are alike or opposite.

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table can play the music either in English or Spanish, which can be a great low-stress way for parents interested in cultivating a bilingual environment to introduce Spanish (or English if another language is spoken in the home.) It is actually four toys in one:

• A laptop with lots of music allowing the child to learn about the alphabet, shapes and other lessons;
• A piano that can be played for tunes, while learning about colors at the same time;
• A counting phone that also doubles as a teaching aid for numbers;
• A book with pages to flip with stories for the child to learn.

The toy is a table top with many gadgets. Included in the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table are snap-on legs allowing your child 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.

Children can also play with this toy on the floor, without the snap-on legs. With the many activities, children will have hours of fun, learning, and laughing. One of the best features is the Imagination mode. In this mode, the toy plays real-life sounds such as piano keys, mobile phone tones and many more.

There are a few issues with the toy. The closing mechanism on the laptop snaps shut, which may result in fingers being pinched if it is not closed carefully. The second issue is when the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun and Friends Musical Table is set on Spanish mode, the toy says everything in English first and then in Spanish. If the child presses the button too quickly, you will not hear the Spanish word.

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