Toy piano

[cara1]

At daycare, they have a plastic toy piano that looks like a Hippo. You just bang on the keys and it makes noise (quality similar to a xylophone). It's not electric or anything. But it's old and needs replacing (3 of the keys are broken). Where can I find this toy? I have no leads...

Little Tikes has a baby piano that sounds similar:

Here is a picture of it:

There is another one I found on amazon that is a xylophone and a piano: http://tinyurl.com/936l4

We have that top piano and DC really likes banging on it from time to time. The quality of the sound is indeed like that of a metal xylophone and they don't have to press too hard to make the sound. LT also makes a larger version which I probably would have gotten over the smaller one (ours was a gift).

I saw that. I'm looking for more of an upright one. It has actual keys.

I haven't seen the hippo piano- but I know Little Tikes makes an upright piano that hmmm I think is a crocodile. . .I'll take a look on Toys R Us and edit if I find it.

Good luck on the search- my daughter loves pianos too.


ETA here is the one I was thinking of

Looks like it needs batteries though- the only other one I have seen is pink and has Barbie on it. Which probably wouldn't go over that well at daycare! :)
