Give your little one an exciting introduction to music with the Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage.

Features include "Instruments" that activate sounds when their buttons are pressed and five fun songs.

An Exciting Experience for Your Little Performer
The Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage features a large picture mirror, framed by exciting blinking lights at the top and an "audience" of smiling, cartoon babies at the bottom. Musical instruments with happy faces sit below: a guitar, a keyboard, a drum, and a trumpet. Each instrument has moving parts that activate sounds. The toy comes with a "magic" microphone, which is really a rattle. Shake it, and the sound of the rattle will activate songs and other fun sounds. The lights blink as the music plays, making a spectacular show for your little one to enjoy.

Sing Songs or "Compose" You Own
The toy includes two modes, which are easily selected by sliding a button at the top of the toy. The "sing-along" mode plays five different fun songs, which are activated by shaking the magic microphone or pressing any of the buttons on the musical instruments. Younger babies will enjoy listening to the music and watching the lights blink. They'll also love hearing you sing along with the songs. (We were happy to find that the toy comes with lyric cards.) As your child gets older, she can learn to sing along with you, too.

Select the "build-a-song" mode for your child to experiment with sounds herself. When she shakes the "magic microphone," a voice singing a "scat" will start. When your child plays with any of the musical instruments, she will hear that instrument play. It will continue to play a "solo" until she presses the buttons on any of the other instruments. Their sounds will then be added to the instrumental piece. For example, press the drum, and a back beat will be added. In all, the toy has three different, jazzy "add-on" instrumental pieces -- even our adult toy testers enjoyed these catchy, authentic-sounding tunes. The toy also says several fun phrases, as well as the sound of cheering and applause, encouraging children to dance or sing along.

Musical Toy Grows with Your Child
While we love all of the musical features of this toy, we especially like that the Sing-Along Stage is designed to grow with your child, which means that your child will get a lot of use out of it while making new discoveries as they get older. The toy stands at the perfect height for six-month-old babies to play with while sitting. They will enjoy looking at themselves in the large picture window, watching the blinking lights, and experimenting with the cause and effect features of the buttons. Our two-year-old toy tester also enjoyed this toy -- she loved dancing and singing along with the songs.

The toy requires just a little bit of adult assembly, which is where we encountered our only problem: the legs need to be screwed on to the toy to allow it to stand, but the holes for the included screws were not sized properly. This made it difficult for us to manually tighten the screws satisfactorily. However, the toy was still able to stand sturdily for safe play

. The Sing-Along Stage requires 3 AA batteries, which are included.

My 8 month old grandaughter loves this toy. It keeps her attention for hours, and she gets so excited when she makes the music play. It is vey sturdy, and supports her as she pulls herself up on it. My only suggestion would be to put rubber on the bottom of the feet, to keep it from sliding on hard floors.

I have to review this toy. I bought the stage by impulse when it was half off at Walmart. In July of 2008. I had B/G twins almost 12 months old that started playing with it imediately. They were just starting to walk so they were standing for long periods of time with little help. Honestly it was the only thing besides the Fisher Price Learning Home that they played with. It was very engaging for them. The mirror, and lights along with the music are designed perfectly. They were always smileling ear to ear. It was like crack and they were addicted. As parents we were both enjoying it, no crapy music and sounds here. DH would frquently activated it himself and laugh when our twins responded by danceing to the music. Then as they became more steady on their feet they quickly lost interest in "playing" with it. This was a very short time only a few weeks later since recieving it. By 14 months I was selling it on Cragslist. They were now only interested in it if they could "climb" it. The stage was then a hazard because they were able to tip it back and rock forward and back causing falls, brusies and crying. Otherwise it sat gathering dust.

Bottom line is as soon as your children become steady on their feet they will want to climb it and then you will need to put it away. In our experience the toy would have been best introduced sooner say around 6 months when both of my twins were sitting up by themselves unassisted. We have a nephew who is a couple months older then our twins and he did not walk and climb until much later. Maybe started around 15 months? So for them they received much more playtime from the toy. We also have the Fisher Price Learning Home with in my opinion is HANDS DOWN the best toy purchase ever. My B/G twins are 16 months old and its still like crack to them. Constant play even with all the toys that have come and gone from our home. They also can not injure themselves on it as it is extremely stable. If your tight on space then I certainly recomend it over the stage. IMHO every young child should have the Fisher Price Learning Home. Its that great! ;)

Superstar Stage review, January 7, 2009
By NanaT (New Mexico)
This was a gift to my granddaughter on her first birthday. It was more popular than any of the gifts her parents or anyone else gave her. She has it very prominent in her toy area and when we go to see her she goes right to it and starts playing it. Her parents were very surprised that she was so taken with it. But it is for any child that is a natural performer.
