Overview

The VTech Safari Sounds Guitar is an engaging musical toy designed to entertain and educate children across various developmental stages, from birth to 10 years and beyond. This interactive guitar, themed like a friendly tiger, offers a rich array of features that encourage imaginative play, language development, and musical exploration.

Function Description

The Safari Sounds Guitar provides a versatile musical experience, allowing children to switch between acoustic, clean electric, and distorted electric guitar sounds. It features three distinct music genres: Rock, Blues, and Country, each with its own set of melodies and sing-along songs. The toy also incorporates animal sounds and songs, focusing on a tiger, bear, elephant, frog, and parrot, enhancing its appeal and educational value.

The guitar operates in two main modes: "Guitar Fun" and "Animal Band." In "Guitar Fun" mode, children can create their own music using the 8 Light Up Fret Buttons, which respond with guitar or animal sounds. The Strings Bar can be moved to play sound effects and melodies, while the Whammy Bar adds special guitar sound effects. Animal buttons (Tiger, Elephant, Bear, Parrot, Frog) allow for the integration of animal sounds into the music.

In "Animal Band" mode, the focus shifts to sing-along songs featuring the various animals. Pressing an animal button initiates a sing-along song about that animal. The Music Button can then be pressed to hear the melody played in the selected animal's sound. Similar to "Guitar Fun" mode, the Strings Bar and Whammy Bar can be used to add sound effects and keep the music playing.

The device is designed to adapt to a child's evolving needs, offering stimulating textures, sounds, and colors for infants, interactive play for preschoolers to develop imagination and language, and curriculum-related learning for older children. It supports early learning by introducing the alphabet and counting, fostering creativity through music and drawing, and providing challenging activities that keep pace with a growing mind.

Usage Features

  • Off/Mode Switch: This slide switch allows users to power the unit on by selecting either "Guitar Fun" or "Animal Band" mode, or to turn the unit off by sliding it to the OFF position.
  • Low/High Volume Buttons: Two dedicated buttons control the volume. The Low Volume Button decreases the sound, while the High Volume Button increases it. Users may need to adjust the volume after powering the unit off and on again.
  • 8 Light Up Fret Buttons: These buttons are central to creating music. In "Guitar Fun" mode, they produce acoustic, clean electric, distorted electric guitar, or animal sounds, depending on the selected sound switch setting. The lights flash in sync with the music and sing-along songs.

  • Stop Button: This button allows users to stop any current responses or ongoing music.
  • Animal Buttons (Tiger, Bear, Elephant, Parrot, Frog): These dedicated buttons activate animal-specific sounds and songs. In "Guitar Fun" mode, they introduce animal sounds into the music. In "Animal Band" mode, they initiate sing-along songs about the respective animals and allow for jamming with animal roars or sounds over melodies.
