Best Toys

The Lamaze line of toys has got a great number of toys that are perfect for infants and babies, and the Lamaze Play & Grow Elephantunes is no exception. This stuffed elephant is filled with a number of things that every young baby will love, and that will help to stimulate many of their senses as well.

What It Is

Young children love elephants. Maybe it’s because they’re so large or maybe it’s because they’re so silly looking. Either way, they are almost always a favorite with young children. The Lamaze Play & Grow Elephantunes is a toy that is designed for young children to help them to learn about music. When you first look at him you can see that he is very brightly colored. He’s got four different colors, one for each hoof, and his main body is pink. Even his ears aren’t left out of the color and pattern explosion, with a different pattern on the inside of each ear. He definitely looks adorable, but this pink pachyderm is not only fun to look at, he’s fun to touch!

Each one of this elephant’s feet play a different musical note. When you play one at a time, children are able to have fun identifying the sounds. Play them in a certain order, and you can get a song! This elephant comes with a songbook so that parents and children can have fun working together to create a classic tune just using the elephant’s feet.

But the Lamaze Play & Grow Elephantunes has a few more surprises in store. Not only does he play individual notes, he actually can record the notes that you play and can play them back simply by pressing his trunk. This is great fun for young children especially, who love hearing what they’ve played back and may ask to play it back over and over again.

What Children Love

Children love the bright colors of this elephant and the fact that it plays music through each hoof. They also seemed to love that it could play back the songs that they’d created on the hooves. Most young children can not make a song that is provided with the songbook without parental help, but that doesn’t stop them from having fun.

What Parents Love

Parents who want their children to have an appreciation of music love that this elephant can do so much with four simple notes. They also loved being able to play with Lamaze Play & Grow Elephantunes in order to recreate a classic song, and to make up new songs. Another plus was that the clip on the top of the elephant kept him hooked to whatever the parent had hooked him to.
