The Mozart Magic Cube is a true breakthrough in music education. This exciting learning toy teaches how sounds combine to form true polyphonic music, and is appropriate for all ages. Just press one of the musical sides and hear the instrument play on. Your child can compose and arrange millions of musical masterpieces. Measures approximately 6" x 6" x 6". Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included).

Awards:

• 2000 National Parenting Center Seal of Approval
• 2000 Parents Choice Approved Award

Music stimulates the brain and encourages early learning skills. This interactive cube lets children choose from any combination of five different instruments--harp, French horn, piano, flute, and violin--to collaborate on eight Mozart tunes. A solo flute might play an excerpt from "Ah! Vous Dirai-je, Maman (Twinkle, Twinkle)," or a French horn intone a theme from The Marriage of Figaro. Other choices include "Country Dance #5," "Come Sweet May," "Der Vogelfanger" (from The Magic Flute), "March in D," "Landler," and "Là Ci Darem la Mano" (from Don Giovanni). Press the "orchestra" button and hear all the instruments play together. As the songs play, each selected instrument button flashes to the beat. The sound is not orchestral quality, but you get a fair electronic approximation of each instrument. Operates on three AA batteries (not included). --Tami Horiuchi

A newborn will be content lying on her back, gazing into Mommy or Daddy's face. And that doesn't really get old for a long time. But baby's brain and muscles and skills are developing, and after a while she would like a wee bit more entertainment, if you don't mind. The award-winning Gymini Super Deluxe by Tiny Love is a classic, sure to provide, well, minutes, but they add up to hours, of amusement! And parents know that even 10 minutes of uninterrupted time to make dinner or throw a load in the wash can be a blessing, even aside from the myriad benefits the Gymini play mat gives their little one. And what are those benefits, you ask? The list goes on and on, but here's a start.

First, a Brief Description
The Gymini folds out into a 32- by 32-inch soft mat, virtually swarming with colorful illustrations of jungle flora and fauna, most notably a giraffe, zebra, lion, and elephant. Overhead two padded arches cross, from which dangle more critters, as well as a large mirror and a plastic bead rattle. Hidden below, baby will eventually discover, is a music box that plays Mozart and several nursery tunes. Textures, colors, sounds, and lights abound, and baby has the power to make all these objects squeak and jingle and jitter and flash, as soon as she can figure out how to make those hands and feet and mouth of hers connect with her heart's desire. Herein lies the developmental potential.

Shake, Rattle, and Roll
Whether she's waving her limbs around; aiming specifically for the goggle-eyed, smiling monkey overhead; or rolling over to find the source of that I.Q.-enhancing classical music, baby will be hard-pressed not to advance her infant skill set on the Gymini Super Deluxe. From the monkey with springy leg to pull to the vibrating, jitterbugging elephant to the mirror she can see if she just lifts that heavy head a bit higher…everything on the play mat has a mission: to make baby learn. Cause and effect is a biggie: when she bats at the giraffe, it rattles. When she pokes one corner of the mat, music and lights seem to emerge from the fabric flowers. When she rubs the elephant ear on the mat, it makes a fun crinkly sound. Those large muscles are getting a real workout, too, resulting in improved large motor skills: reaching, kicking, rolling over, pushing up. Many babies don't particularly enjoy their necessary daily "tummy time," but the Gymini encourages baby to lift and turn her head to see the mirror and find the flashing lights. Tummy time is fun again! And don't forget the fine motor skills! Those little fingers have to meet if baby wants to grasp the zebra's mane or the parrot's crackling wings.

Details, Details
Plastic rings hang from the many holes in each arch; dangling from each is a plush animal or toy, providing still more stimulation. Additionally, parents can easily switch out the toys for variety, simply detaching the included toys from the rings and looping other baby-safe toys on. A hidden music box in one corner of the mat includes an on/off switch with two musical selections: 10 minutes of Mozart or three short fragments of popular nursery tunes. The music is a bit plinky, as is the norm with most baby toy music, but not at all offensive. When the music stops, all baby needs to do is press anywhere on that corner of the mat to start it up again—she is further encouraged to do so by the flowers that light up when the music plays. A hidden squeaker in one of the birds, peek-a-boo with the elephant ear, flap-flap-flap with the butterfly wing, tug-of-war with the giraffe's tail…the play potential is limitless, whether she's sitting up or lying down, one week old or 8 months old.

For Mom and Dad
The mat and arches fold up flat, and the entire Gymini snaps together and travels easily, which is a good thing because you won't want to be without it on your next trip to Grandma's. The padded mat is machine washable (read instructions first—the music box and mirror don't take kindly to machine washing…). Three AA batteries required for the music box (batteries included are for trial only and should be replaced). --Emilie Coulter

The Frog Pod, winner of the JPMA 2005 Innovation Award, is a bath toy scoop, drain and storage unit all in one. It is designed to simplify the maintenance of a typical toddler bathtub environment. Simply scoop it up to rinse bath toys in bulk - the Frog Pod helps eliminate dangerous mildew and bath residue on the toys. A hidden shelf provides a convenient space for shampoo and other bath products. The Frog Pod can be attached to virtually any shower or bathtub wall. Base is simple to detach from the adhesive bracket for easy cleaning.

NOTE: This is not a toy. Never leave a child unattended when bathing. This product should always be mounted up out of reach of toddlers and used only under adult supervision. Never apply excessive force to or allow children to hang onto or from Frog Pod. Do not load the Frog with more than 10 pounds of toys or accessories. Prior to installation remove packaging and fasteners and discard properly.

As every parent knows, rubber duckies and tug boats tend to multiply in the tub. Rather than allowing them to pile up on the bathroom floor or sit in an empty bath once the splish-splashing is over, try the fun and functional Frog Pod.

The detachable scoop makes collecting and cleaning tub toys a cinch.

This bright green plastic frog hangs on the bathroom wall and features a detachable scoop that makes collecting and cleaning tub toys a cinch. Simply grab the large handle, sweep up any straggling toys, hold the scoop under the tub's faucet to rinse off its contents, and then snap the entire thing back on the Frog Pod base. It's so easy you might even find your child cleaning up the tub after getting clean upped themselves!

A built-in shelf at the top of the wall-mounted base holds shampoo, soap, or other bath products, while additional toys and sponges can be hung from the amphibian's 14 splayed toes. A feature that parents can appreciate: the hard plastic is mildew-resistant.

Mount with adhesive strips, suction cups, or screws.

The base can be mounted on any bathroom wall one of three ways: adhesive strips, suction cups, or screws. One set of adhesive strips is included with the Frog Pod, but these are not reusable. A replacement kit of adhesive strips and screws can be purchased separately from the manufacturer. Also available separately from the manufacturer is a wall mount bracket that has eight suction cups attached to it. This bracket can be removed and remounted as often as necessary.

Packaging cautions that no more than 10 pounds (10 pounds!) be held by the Frog Pod at any given time.

As every parent knows, rubber duckies and little toy boats tend to multiply in the bath. Rather than allowing them to lurk underfoot on the bathroom floor or sit forlornly in the empty tub once the splish-splashing is over, why not scoop `em up with the ever-so-cute Frog Pod? This bright green plastic frog can be mounted on any bathroom wall with the included bracket and adhesive. A built-in shelf at the top stores shampoo or other bath products, while (this is the best part) the removable scoop can be used to pick up, rinse, and drain toys. Additional toys or scrubby sponges can be hung from the frog's splayed fingers and toes. There's plenty of room for toys (no more than 10 pounds' worth is the packaging caution…10 pounds!), and the design is charming and appealing to grownups and kids alike. To avoid trouble with the Frog Pod falling off the wall, make sure to follow mounting directions carefully. It's especially important to use a dry wall, allow for a long adhesive curing time, and don't cross the grout with the adhesive strips. Once it's really on, the frog pod should provide handy, stylish, and mildew-free bath toy storage for a good long time. And no yucky, useless suction cups! --Emilie Coulter

4 months&up. The seat spins so you can easily reach and play. The seven multi-sensory toys attached rotate with six different positions. The saucer has three positions for height adjustment, with flip-down feet to stabilize unit. Remove and machine wash the seat pad.

Helps Baby Reach Nine Key Developmental Milestones
Made to encourage mental and physical growth while keeping your baby's interest, the ExerSaucer both entertains and helps baby reach nine important developmental milestones. The learning center's bright colors and varying textures aid tactile and visual development, while the different games teach baby about object permanence.

Playing with the toys supports healthy hand-eye coordination and hones both gross and fine motor skills. Babies also learn to explore the varying object functions so they gain knowledge of cause and effect relationships.

Physical Exercise For a Happy, Healthy Baby
Bouncing in the seat, rocking back and forth and turning to see and play with the different toys helps baby's physical development. These movements strengthen neck, back and leg muscles to improve gross motor skills and inspire a love of movement. In addition, the landscaped tray brings the adorable garden-theme toys within baby's reach, while still allowing baby to stretch from different angles as he plays.

Comfortable Positioning That Grows With Your Child
One of the unique features of this ExerSaucer is that it truly grows with your child. Three height adjustments allow you to ensure a comfortable playing environment, while the three flip-down feet give younger babies the stability they need to attempt rocking and spinning.

For added safety, the seat locks in six positions to provide stability. Once inside the ExerSaucer, your baby can sit, stand, rock, bounce, and play with the seven age-appropriate toys, either independently or with mom and dad there to share in the fun.

The convenient carrying handle also lets you move the ExerSaucer quickly and easily so your child can play wherever you are in the house. And the removable seat is machine washable for a clean, hygienic play environment.

Evenflo began as a company that solely distributed baby care items. They have now expanded to manufacturing products, like car seats, strollers, high chairs, play yards and activity centers, that meet all the needs of children from birth to the pre-school years.

Your baby is naturally curious, and with every new day, she's gaining new motor skills and increasing her physical activity. She loves to sit surrounded by mountains of interesting, colorful toys, playing with and examining each one. And while she isn't able to stand or walk yet, she loves to exercise her legs by bouncing on your lap, preparing her for those eventual first steps.

The Evenflo ExerSaucer SmartSteps Active Learning Center is designed to give your baby both the exercise she needs, and the entertainment she craves. If you child is at least four months old, can sit up by herself but can not yet walk, and is shorter than 30 inches tall, read on -- the Evenflo ExerSaucer could be a great way to help your child develop her motor skills while having hours of fun at the same time.

A Smorgasbord of Experiences
With the ExerSaucer, your child is supported in a fabric "bucket" seat that she can spin around to play with a smorgasbord of exciting, stimulating, interactive toys. She will have her own phone, she can peek at herself in the mirror, and the two of you can even play peek-a-boo with a cute worm in a bright red apple. She can also play music by pulling on the colorful, rattling characters, and experience a lively introduction to shapes, letters, and numbers with an interactive play station that lights up and plays music when you press the buttons.

And best of all, while she's entertaining herself with all those fun-filled toys, the ExerSaucer's spring-loaded legs and rocking base will let her safely bounce up and down and help her to develop her sense of balance. And your baby will delight in making the ExerSaucer's butterflies spin when she jumps.

Perks for Parents
As your little one becomes more active, the ExerSaucer offers an entertaining, safe, stationary area for your baby to play while you attend to household chores or prepare dinner. The ExerSaucer's lightweight plastic construction makes it easy to carry from room to room, so that you can keep a constant eye on your child, and it folds down for even easier transportation or storage. You have the option of locking the seat in place and using the fold-out stabilizer legs to keep the saucer from rocking, should you need your baby to stay still for a bit. The seat is also height-adjustable to accommodate your quickly growing child -- and you'll be very happy to know that its fabric is machine washable for easy cleaning.

The Ultimate Test Run
To assemble the ExerSaucer, we needed a Phillips screwdriver and six "AAA" batteries. Although assembly was relatively easy, it was somewhat time consuming due to the number of parts involved. (It took us about an hour, not including time we needed to attend to the baby's needs in between assembly). But once the ExerSaucer was fully assembled, our 9-month-old test baby couldn't get enough of it. We had loads of fun playing with the peek-a-boo apple, she was very excited to have her very own phone, and she loved to make all the toys jingle and rattle as she enthusiastically bounced up and down.

Our one complaint: the interactive electronic "book," which seems designed to introduce babies to their ABCs, 123s, colors, and shapes, is actually a bit confusing. While it was a lot of fun to turn the pages with our baby and press the buttons to make the lights and music play, don't expect it to teach her much about letters or numbers. But considering everything else this fun-filled activity center has to offer an infant, that's a minor complaint.

Pros:

• Entertains your baby for an extended period of time
• Strengthens your baby's legs and develops their sense of balance
• Fun for both independent play and interactive play with mom and dad
• Folds down for easy storage and transportation

Cons:

• Some of the interactive educational features are confusing
• Assembly takes approximately one hour
