This Toy Trumpet is designed for children with an interest in music. The toy itself will come with four different options. The first three will be three different, simple songs. When the child turns the switch to one of these three modes, the three keys will light up with different colors as he or she is supposed to press it. Only as the child is pressing the correct note will the trumpet speakers play that part of the song. The fourth, and final, mode will allow the child to press whatever keys he or she desires and will play random sounds that correspond to the keys pushed down. In this way, the child can create his or her own song.
The Toy Trumpet will give children a familiarity with music and notes so that they will be more musically inclined when they are older. Studies show that people who are exposed to music in their childhood are more successful in life. The physical principle behind the toy is sound and accoustics. Depending on where the child plays the instrument, the sound could be louder or softer.
This toy is based on the same technology as toys like Bopit. It may be a little more expensive because of the lights and the different songs that are programmed into it. There is nothing dangerous on the outside of the toy. All of the electronics are concealed under the safe plastic material. This thick plastic coating also adds to the durability of the toy. The only problem might be the lightbulbs in the keys blowing out eventually, but there could be some easy way to change them built in to the toy. All and all, the Toy Trumpet should be a successful, fun, safe, and durable toy.
