Inspires and Delights Babies Through Musical Discovery
The Little Superstar Jammin' Band Musical Microphone features a real working microphone that gently amplifies your baby's voice, lights up, and talks. The microphone plays six sing-along songs and four karaoke tunes -- it even has a build-a-song option. The musical activity center comes with a separate tambourine and maraca that hang from the sides and can be removed for playtime.

Two Modes of Interaction
Offering two modes of interaction, the Jammin' Band Musical Microphone lets you choose between sing-along fun and musical discovery. In sing-along mode, babies can press the song-select button to hear a song, or they can sing into the microphone to hear their voice. Your little one can also press the piano keys, tap the drum, or spin the roller on the guitar to hear the sound each instrument plays.

The musical discovery mode is nearly identical to the sing-along mode -- in fact, our reviewers had difficulty telling the two modes apart. However, your baby should enjoy the musical discovery mode just as much. Children can activate the instruments to play a little ditty, press the song-select button to hear musical phrases, or choose an instrument to build their own song. Also, children can sing into the microphone to hear their voice and a fun response.

Designed to Grow with Your Baby
While entertaining for babies, this toy will grow right along with your child. Little ones can sit and enjoy the busy activities and sounds, and as they get bigger, they can stand and sing with music, sounds, and phrases playing from the interactive microphone. An easy height adjustment lets you switch the toy from sitting to standing position as your child grows -- the microphone angle also adjusts for your child's height.

Loved by Babies and Parents Alike
With no small parts or sharp corners, the Jammin' Band Musical Microphone is a safe durable toy parents can give their child. A sturdy footed base steadies the activity center, and a handle on the front supports any child pulling him- or herself up to stand and play.

And, because this unit is self-contained, you won't have to worry about lots of stray pieces cluttering up your home. For further convenience, this toy is incredibly easy to assemble and maintain -- just wipe with a clean cloth that's been dampened with a mild soap and water solution.

But the best feature parents and adults will appreciate is the volume switch that lets them choose between low and high volume. There's also a power switch to completely turn off the activity center as a battery-saving option.

Encourages Developing Skills
The Jammin' Band Musical Microphone encourages your baby's developing skills through interactive play. The activity center enhances fine motor skills with hands-on activities, and it fosters coordination and gross motor skills as your baby learns to stand and balance. Additionally, this toy inspires the senses with flashing lights and bright colors that offer visual stimulation, as well as lively music, songs, sounds, and speech that help enhance your baby's auditory and language skills.
