VTech DJ Beat Boxer is an adorably inventive and entertaining toy. It offers a unique and fun way for your child to learn about finding the beat and rhythm in the music they listen to while also teaching kids how to create their own music. The toy has two separate play modes, the “boxer” dog mode, and the “beat boxer” mode. The dog mode allows your child to care for the dog and play with it as an animal. The other “dog” features are adorable. For instance, when your child presses the dog’s nose, it will sniff their hand. The beat box mode is where the musical fun really takes center stage. The different beats preprogrammed into the dog are catchy and funky. Various sounds are added to the base melody so your child can personalize the song. A favorite feature among testers was the record option, where your child can record a beat with their voice and then integrate it into the song. They can continue to add sound effects like record scratching or various horn sounds. Parents agreed that through the music, they can inspire their child’s creativity. This adorable puppy is soft enough to keep in bed at night and light enough to carry around. The feature of automatically turning off when it hasn’t been played with for a while was much appreciated by testers. However, it should be noted that VTech did not include a volume button, and parents warned that the toy is loud.
