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.
