Fisher-Price Fun-2-Learn Learning DJ

I purchased this for my 2.5 year old son who already knows all his colors, basic shapes, the entire alphabet and can count to 10. He really enjoys exercising his knowledge and I thought this toy would be great for further solidifying what he already knows.

That said, I was very disappointed. The toy claims to teach numbers, letters, colors and shapes. Seems like a steal for the price tag. However, it only teaches 4 colors and 4 shapes. That's fine, I can overlook that.. But it claims to have 16 "learning" songs to help your child learn. Most of the songs have absolutely no lyrics whatsoever. I would say at least 12 of them do not. How is that teaching my child anything?

That, and for the 3 or 4 songs that actually DO have lyrics, they are pretty worthless. The alphabet ones do not even go through the entire alphabet, plus the same few songs are used with different lyrics for each of the functions (ie, colors, shapes, letters and numbers all use the same exact songs with different words).

Overall, I think the toy is a dud. If you got this on clearance for half the price, maybe I'd go for that, but not for the price they're asking. My son played with it in very brief spurts and then would ignore it for days. With most new toys he'll usually dedicate a nice chunk of time to it at least for the first week. This one barely got an hour of his attention the entire time we had it (about 3 weeks).

I also thought it worth mentioning that the toy is pretty large. It's got a handle for carrying, but it's pretty heavy and too big for your child to say, play in the car on their lap while you're out running errands or on a car trip. It's shape is bulky and awkward as well, but these are minor complaints compared to what I've already stated.

This toy's biggest strong point is it's durability. FP toys can take a lot of abuse and as the mother of a very active little boy, I greatly appreciate that. Some of the tunes are also catchy, though they would have been much better with actual lyrics..

My 2-year old got this for his 2nd birthday 4 months ago. I was skeptical at first (especially of a musical toy which always has potential to be very annoying).

What this toy doesn't do:

* Teach shapes, numbers, or colors.

* Have a long cord and easy to use mic.

What it does do:

* Plays a few really catchy songs.

* Easy to operate.

* Nice volume control button and low setting.

* Cute and funny movement.

He plays with this thing every night before bed, dances up a storm, and passes out. What's not to love?! Haha Seriously, I love watching him enjoy it, it's the only reason why I am taking time to write a review.

One thing that struck me as odd is that they sampled the song "I know what boys like" an 80's song with some pretty sexual suggestions behind it. No way could my 2-year old know or pick up on that, but us parents certainly did and the choice puzzled us.

It's durable and fun, and was a good gift. I probably would never have bought it for him myself, though. But it's a winner in our house (for better or worse).

My 2 year old loves to sing!The microphone on this toy is great she just loves it.She also sings the songs now.She's not really into the learning of the shapes and colors but I'm sure as she gets older she will enjoy that aspect as well.But the microphone was a seller for her.

I bought this toy for my nephew for Christmas and he loves it. He is 17 months old and he went crazy for this toy. It makes so many sounds when you touch different parts of it. The DJ sings and moves back and forth and is so cute and entertaining. I loved playing with it before I gave it to him. It also has ABC's, numbers, colors and other educational learning sounds. Great present for a child!
