Laugh & Learn™ Apptivity™ Case is a toy that gets parents talking! Intended age range is 6-36 months.
The premise is that baby/toddler can rattle, shake, touch texture and look in mirror – all developing baby’s senses and encouraging play. What’s there to talk about you ask?
Well, the conversation starter is that this toy has the extra feature of adding your iphone or ipod touch so that baby/toddler can play with age appropriate apps in a safe setting where they can drool and drop the device and the Fisher-Price Apptivity Case protects its.
The parental conversation – or debate if you like – is of two camps. One is the “I would NEVER give my baby my iphone” and the other is “Great idea – my baby ALWAYS wants to play with my iphone – now he can!”.
It’s a personal parental call whether you give you baby playtime with your devices.
However, I do have a compromise suggestion for this conversation – the Laugh & Learn™ Apptivity™ Case comes with an iphone image behind the protective clear screen – keep that picture in place and let baby/toddler pretend play to toggle and touch screen between apps. This is what I’m doing with my son and he is just as happy to shake, rattle and touch the Laugh & Learn™ Apptivity™ Case(and he doesn’t know anything about apps yet so he’s none the wiser).
So, in my opinion, there are two ways to play with this case…both stimulating to babies/toddlers.
And that’s what I love about Fisher-Price – they don’t encourage a “right” way to play – they encourage play, laugh, grow.

It’s a great toy to protect your asset, the only challenge is you have to open it up with a coin each time you want to turn on/off the unit.
