Nothing else than the Listen & Learn Nursery Rhymes introduced already in 1990.

The Magic Melody plays 6 monophonic melodies and 6 sung German children songs using a Texas Instruments TSP50C11 single-chip speech synthesizer. The songs are selected by rotating the ball in a way that the picture of the selected song faces up.

6 monophonic, short German children song melodies:
Ein Männlein steht im Walde
Hänschenklein
Auf einem Baum ein Kuckuk
Backe, backe Kuchen
Der Mond ist aufgegangen
? (a picture with pears)
6 sung German children songs:  (unfortunately very short, only 1 stanza per song)
Alle Vögel sind schon da
Kommt ein Vogel geflogen
Alle meine Entchen
Häschen in der Grube
Es tanzt ein Bi-Ba-Butzemann
Fuchs Du hast die Gans gestohlen

The toy is intended for toddlers ages 6 to 36 month.

Other toys for toddlers are the Peek-A-Boo Zoo and the Magic Sorter.
