Mozart cube
Maggie was given a Mozart cube by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bkseiver and rlseiver for an early Christmas present years ago. Some time back it'd been put up on top of the entertainment center, in Toy TimeOut, I believe because one sibling had smacked the other in the head with it. It's been up there hidden for a long time.
Yesterday she pointed it out to the doula who's been over helping some days, as they came down the stairs and could see up there, and I gave permission to get it back out. This morning Karl replaced batteries on it. Both kids are throughly enjoying it.
They can push on the orchestra button side to get a piece of Mozart played by the full ensemble, or to change which piece is playing - and as a piece is playing, they can push on the flute, harp, piano, violin, and french horn sides to add and subtract them from the mix.
They're entranced, if anything more than when they played with it younger, because they understand what's going on more. And Maggie can tell me about most of the instruments. The harp is nice, and I'm developing a fondness for the french horn bits.
If I must listen to a kid toy that keeps making electronic sounds, this is a good one.
