Baby Genius Toys

Lily received her very first Baby Genius DVD for her birthday this year. I honestly cannot say enough good things about it. It captivates her unlike any other show, movie, or CD. She bops around, dances, sings, and even shrieks in excitement when her very favorite songs come on the screen. Many of the songs on that DVD are actually set to the tune of well-known classical music.

When I attended the Time to Play holiday showcase in NYC last month I was thrilled to learn all about the brand new line of toys from Baby Genius.

These toys are available at Walmart stores and you can visit the Baby Genius website for more information.

Old McVinko's Musical Farm: $25
It's a farm, it plays music- what more could a kid need? This farm is interactive, colorful, and fun. There is actually a track that the animals sit in. The track then revolves in and out of the barn carrying the animals with it! The farm is easy to pick up and take with you- which will come in handy on our many trips. I love that it comes with several barnyard animals and also features the Baby Genius characters. Lily Bean recognized these characters from her DVD and it just added to the excitement!
Swivel 'N Sounds Phone: $8
This phone is going to save my poor Blackberry from even more Lily Bean bites. She absolutely loves playing with our phones- no matter how many times we take them away from her, she still manages to find them. This Baby Genius Swivel 'N Sounds Phone packs so much entertainment in such a little package! The phone makes sounds, plays songs, talks, lights up, AND! It even has a record feature that allows kids to record themselves talking and play it back. Totally fun toy at a FRACTION of the price you would expect to pay!
DJ's Sing-A-Long Keyboard: $20
Lily Bean will sit for long periods of time at our piano and happily bang away on the keys! This is all fine and good, but it requires someone to sit with her to make sure she doesn't topple off the bench. This keyboard is such a fun alternative and her face lights up every time she plays with it! Kids can choose their instrument, type of music, and play some songs. There is also a record/play back feature on this toy allowing kids to record their songs and listen to them over and over again.
