Even without the considerable electronic features with which it comes equipped, Touch & Learn Activity Desk Deluxe would be an impressive play and learning station. As it is, its electronic and physical features merge to form one of the most exciting learning environments we've seen to date. The Activity Desk's surface raises to reveal an easel and chalkboard along with ample storage space for art supplies. Lower the desk lid, press the on button, and the desktop transforms into an interactive surface with a multitude of activities to explore. 5 interactive pages provide more than 200 touch and learn spots. Kids delightedly explore number order and counting, music styles and instruments, phonics and letter stroke order, the human body, clothes and accessories, and fruits and colors. At the rear of the desk are three compellingly interactive items - a toy telephone that introduces numbers and makes simulated phone calls, a music player that plays more than 20 popular and classical music melodies, and an LED display that shows how to write letters and numbers, step-by-step. Eight expansion packs are available (each sold separately), each of which focuses on a separate curriculum. Requires 4 AA batteries.
