Playskool’s Made For Me MP3 Ready Toys

Lisa — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 06:22:38 +0000

Over the last year I have noticed that a lot of toys that are being introduced for infants are MP3 compatible.

This is nice because I think every parent loathes the ‘classic’ music that EVERY company pre- loads their toys with.

Playskool’s new line ‘Made For Me’ has a spot for parents to pop in the company’s MP3 unit (optional on some toys) into the back, allowing your child the chance to enjoy the music of their choice.

The line of toys consists of 3 toys that are made with bright, fun colours and unusual shapes.

This crib toy helps relax kids with just the right music, plus a choice of animated characters or soft lights to enhance the mood. Listen to just the music alone, add the illuminated screen, or switch on the ceiling light- show feature for a soothing bedtime display.

The optional MP3 unit plugs right into the back so that parents can control the music and bypass the monotonous lullabies that come with most toys.
$79.99

The MADE FOR ME 2-in-1 Infant Gym is a one-of-a-kind developmental toy that easily transitions from an overhead infant gym to an engaging tummy-time center and later to a toddler play pit. Best of all, it’s designed to let you choose and arrange its activity toys based on what your child’s individual developmental needs and preferences.

The gym engages growing babies with six removable and interchangeable character-themed toys: a rattle, squeaker, teether, clacker pages, spinner, and a roller ball. The optional MP3 is also compatible with this play gym.

$39.99

The MADE FOR ME MP3 Music Player allows you download up to two hours of music, transfer songs from your personal CD collection or record your own voice. It comes pre-loaded with 50 songs and sounds on four different play lists: Playtime, Sleepy Time, Sound Effects and Favorites. Choose a play list or shuffle them for random play! The player’s includes a characterized fabric cover allowing you to attach it to any standard sized crib.This toddler Ipod would be perfect for a long road trip, airplane ride or just an afternoon in the park.
$79.99
