Learn-to-Play Piano Music Toy

Melissa & Doug have done it again and made a great product. This piano is heavy and sturdy and my little one has loved it since he could sit in front of it and bang on the keys. He's now walking and every time he passes it he plays it as well. It is also nice that it came with a few songs to learn to play as kids get older (or parents want to play for their kids).

Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is we need to see how well it holds up as my one year old grand daughter grows. Shipped just fine, all keys play fine and are in tune/tone as you would expect. Lots of fun! The adults liked having the two octaves of notes and showed off their piano skills at the birthday party, playing every song in the book that came with it. It should be the perfect little way to start learning.

Just the right size and sounds great! Arrived totally assembled.

The piano music toy was slightly expensive but it was the best deal I could find. It is a great quality and it just what I was expecting to receive.

My twin girls, age 2 1/2, both sat down with the piano and played and sang, banging the keys and playing with dynamics getting louder and softer, I'm glad that I have this piano for them at this stage. One of the girls threw the piano off the couch to test me, it landed on the floor with a loud bang, but all the keys continue to work and no damage to the piano. I think that Melissa and Doug could discuss with the Chinese manufacture about the final touches of quality on the piano as there was glue residue which had obviously squeezed out and dried where the wood joins. Not a big deal, but I was a little disappointed to learn Doug and Melissa manufacture in China as I had heard they are a step above other toys. I sure hop there isn't lead in the paint.

I hadn't expected a concert grand, and I certainly wasn't bothered by the rather tinny sound of this piano. I'd just suggest that if a buyer is looking for a pleasing chime-like sound, wait until the child is much older and buy a "big people's" piano. For the young child who isn't concerned about sound quality but wants to make "music," this piano is the ticket. I especially like the sturdy construction and bright colors.

This was purchased for an active 3 year old grandson. I saw it for the first time, after 3 months of use. It still looks new. Crayon marks came off easily with a used dryer sheet. Paint quality is excellent. I expect it to stand up to his active use.

The color-coded keys help our 2-year-old learn how to follow the songbook and play actual songs. It is also low enough to the ground and durable enough for our 6-month-old to enjoy it also. He just likes to make noise!

Exactly what I wanted my grandchildren love it.

MY 1 Y/O GRANDSON LOVES TO PLAY MY REAL PIANO, SO I JUST HAD TO BUY HIM HIS OWN LIL' PIANO. THIS SIZE AND QUALITY CHILDS PIANO IS VERY HARD TO FIND, ESPECIALLY AS AFFORDABLE AS THIS ONE WAS, WHILE STILL BEING OF HIGH QUALITY. I AM VERY PLEASED W/MY PURCHASE AND SO IS MY GRANDSON!!
