A Shell Full of Songs

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

If your off-key lullabies keep the little one up all night, you may want to invest is this plush music player. Lamaze Turtle Tunes, from Tomy, is a brightly colored plush turtle with a musical shell. When a baby touches the bright spots on the Turtle Tunes shell, different musical notes are played. The bold colors aid in the development of the baby’s vision, and the music helps create auditory awareness. Lamaze Turtle Tunes features three different music modes to choose from, and comes with a song book.
