Light Up Keyboard
Description
- Children can mash big colorful buttons on this simple, 7-note keyboard. As each note is played, the keyboard will light up, or children can play preloaded musical tunes indicated by lit up keys.
- This toy is based on sound, music, and light.
- Construction should be relatively easy, as injection mold plastics can be used to form all the plastic parts. Parts will be held together by plastic tabs on the inside of the exterior shell to avoid the use of metal screws. Only a simple circuit board and speaker are required to produce the sound and control the lighting pattern of each key, along with AA batteries. Children are kept in mind with the design by adding rounded edges and soft curves to the keyboard. Because this toy is large and very durable, safety should not be a problem. This toy is recommended for ages 1+.
