Chime Garden

I am not usually one to recommend battery-operated toys - every now and then I have to make an exception. This charming chime garden from Lamaze is a fabulous action reaction type toy, but is also a lovely way to interest young children music. So often the music in children's toys is tinny or whining ...not this time. There are three modes of play for the garden; the first allows children to produce a single tone when they press on a flower, the second encourages them to wait and watch as the initial touch starts off a song and the next allows it to continue, the third choice provides one of two appealing tunes. Each time a flower chimes it lights up - intriguing and exciting for little ones - and their older siblings!
