Description

This is a great interactive durable toy by fisher price, which encourages baby to stand , move and dance. It costs around £40 new. Baby can sit or stand whilst playing with the bandstand.
It has a height adjustment, so they can sit, kneel or stand.

You switch the bandstand on by the button which is under the main music centre this is also the volume control with the options of high and low volume.
The battery compartment is underneath the band centre. Three C batteries are included (which have only recently been changed).
There is a knob to the left of the bandstand which you can select the mode of play, there are three modes which are:
1) Song mode: This plays complete songs. Play any of the instruments to hear a solo from any of them.
2) Build a song mode: this is where baby can make up his own songs by playing the individual instruments on the bandstand. When baby moves about on the mat some of a song plays with the flashing lights. Baby can play the keyboard, hit the drum, slide the guitar or move the horns and add the instrument to the song.
3) Solo mode When baby moves about on the mat a a lively beat plays and flashing lights, baby can play any of the instruments and whichever instrument he plays he will hear a solo from that individual instrument.
Four colourful instruments to help with hand and eye coordination.
1) The drum which is centred underneath the monkey, this flashes in coordination with the music and can also be tapped and bashed by baby.
2) There is a light up piano with five keys that flash in coordination to the music and baby can also play the keys.
3) It has a set of three horns that can be pushed and pulled.
4) A guitar wih a lever that baby can slide up and down to give the effect that the baby is playing the guitar .
The fun begins
There is a colourful interactive dance mat with a picture of the dancing monkey, hand and footprints which change the tune when baby dances or moves. It has Seven Caribbean calypso style tunes which really are lively.
There is a handle that the baby pulls herself up with and holds onto whilst she dances.

Cleaning the bandstand is fairly easy, the mat has a tough wipe clean surface which you can clean with a soft cloth water and a mild non abrasive cleaner, gently wipe the rest of the bandstand with a damp cloth, making sure that it isn't too wet.
Manufacturers recommended age is 6 months plus to around 2 years.

Offering for £7 as one of the red horns has come off (as pictured) and the monkey no longer dances but this did not affect my children's enjoyment of the toy but does include only recently changed 3x C batteries.
