I just thought I'd share this with you all. This is an excellent toy and such a great price for what you get.

I wish I had seen this sooner. My daughter always loved to listen to me sounding out letters and would try to mimic me. She also had a fascination with electronics- cell phones, calculators, and remote controls. Fisher Price has a toy remote control and cell phone with a few buttons on it. In comparison, this is so much better (many more buttons as well as a screen that displays images) and its cheap!

Not only is it a great source of entertainment (and handy for babies that hate diaper changes) but it is very educational.

On the Letters and Sounds Smart Stick, there are 4 different settings- sounding out letters and saying them aloud, find a letter, find a sound, and the last option is the ABC song. It also has a built in sleep mode. If the child leaves it laying on the floor while its on, it will automatically shut down after a few minutes to preserve the batteries (3 AA).

This product is recommended for ages 2+, but I think that it can be offered before then (with adult supervision). I've seen fisher price toys that are alike in shape and construction, but are for much younger kids (6+ months). Your baby will get a lot of enjoyment out of pressing the buttons to hear the sounds.
