Customer Reviews

Fun, but...
My 2 1/2 year old daughter LOVES the Little Einsteins shows/videos. She had a lot of fun playing with this toy, but I have two complaints.

One, similar to previous reviews, the "Do-Re-Mi" sung by the character buttons is out of tune. Ugh. However, my husband pointed out that the characters often sing out of tune on the TV show/videos too. So maybe they are just trying to stay consistent? I don't mind it so much on the show, but for $20 I'd like the notes in tune.

Second, the instrument knobs that move up and down have to be placed "just so" next to the red dots in order to make them play their little tune. A child will, no doubt, eventually learn that. But they might ignore that part of the toy for a while until they do.

Those things said, I can't deny that my daughter loved the toy. The Little Einstein characters and familiar music were the draw.

A revision might make this into a decent toy, but...
The solfege buttons at the top of the toy weren't even close to being in tune to a major scale. Hopefully, they will consult a musician and revise this product. This problem alone makes this is an irritating noisemaker.

Why can't they do it right?
I was thinking about buying this for my daughter, but when I tried it out at the store, the little characters sang "do re me" etc. but completely out of tune! Would it have been so hard to program it in tune? Why not do it right so kids could actually learn something? Another example of someone's good idea done badly.
