It’s 2017 and mamas are more clued up in child development than ever before, thanks to science and social media.

Toys aren’t merely toys anymore; they’re tools! When we go toy shopping, ‘fun’ is no longer the only feature we look for. We (well, most of us) are attracted by educational and development-encouraging features.

That’s why the Fisher Price Bright Beats Smart Touch Play Space Playset (bloody long name!) has attracted legions of fans – it balances the best of both worlds! The toy features 3 modes designed to be in tune with your baby, and allows your baby to move up a mode with their developmental leaps. The toy also has awesome ‘smart touch’ technology meaning no more crumbs and  yuck trapped down the sides of buttons!

Mode One

The first mode is ‘mode 1’, which is used when your baby is small and sitting. Mode 1 involves piano play, which provides auditory stimulation but is also very entertaining alongside visual stimulation with the colourful lights! Your baby will begin to learn an association between the touchpad and certain sounds. There is also a ball ramp, a roller-ball and a spinner towards floor level to encourage fine motor skill development.

Beautiful Evie playing with the ball ramp in mode 1!

Our private group member, and mama of Evie, Abbie Curtis, had this to say:

“My little girl got this for her first Christmas when she was just shy of 6 months old. It really helped her with her sitting as she loved playing with the cogs and putting the balls down the slope at the side. This helped her with her coordination too. It then encouraged her to stand and she used it to pull herself up. It has three different modes depending on age. My daughter loves the colourful lights and the music. May encourage dancing too! ? However now my daughter is 11 months and walking she seems less interested in it. But it is meant to help teach the alphabet and counting so hoping in time she we can use it to help with that. Would say out of all the toys shes had though this is one of the most played with.
