The Learn and Groove Musical Table is an interactive musical table complete with over 55 songs and musical activities to keep baby “learning and grooving”, made by LeapFrog. A variety of play instruments encourage baby to press, slide, push, pull, open and close, helping develop fine motor skills. All of the activities in this fun toy are designed to provide both auditory and visual stimulation, aiding in the development of a baby’s motor skills, memory, and problem-solving skills. The Learn and Groove Musical Table also provides opportunities for a baby to learn shapes, colors, the alphabet, and much more. There is also a switch that changes the language from English to Spanish to provide baby with an early introduction to foreign language. This toy is best suited to children from 6 months to 3 years, and will grow with your children with the addition of plastic legs, to accommodate a standing toddler.
Pros:
- There are two modes: verbal teaching mode and musical mode. This creates a great toy that appeals to young babies that cannot yet speak or totally understand words, as well as toddlers that are learning to master language.
- Over 55 songs and musical activities to keep baby interested for long periods of time. Because of the variety of activities, children are less likely to get bored and lose interest.
- The songs and sounds made by the Learn and Groove Musical Table are high quality and not annoying to parents. The variety of songs is also very good to keep all members of the family happy while baby is playing with this toy.
- Teaches about the alphabet, shapes, colors and counting in both English and Spanish and easily switches between languages with the flip of a switch.
Cons:
- There is a potential that older children may us the table with legs as a stepping stool to climb on to higher places like the kitchen counter or a book case, causing a falling hazard.
- Stabilizing feet may have been removed from recent models, making the table less stable, and more likely to tip over if a baby uses the table for support to stand or, especially, if a child tries to use the table as a stool.
- There is a model of this table where the legs are not removable, so this may need to be looked into prior to attaching the legs, especially for children that are not yet able to stand on their own.

I purchased this toy when my son when he was 8 months old. He immediately loved all of the buttons, sliders, and general interactive features. He would play with this toy as long as I let him. He is now 2 years old and still loves this toy. I love that he is learning the alphabet, counting, shapes, colors, etc. I often hear him singing the alphabet song. I love this toy, it is a toy that my son loves to play with and makes learning fun for him, what more could you ask for?
