Housewife Rating — 6 out of 10

Cute guitar and fun music. It’s a very loud toy that can become very annoying really fast.

The Backyardigans is a cartoon on Nickelodeon that my daughter for first exposed to this weekend. It’s colorful and has a lot of music which kept her attention. Their line of toys include a guitar. Since Rae loves the guitars of Guitar Hero we wanted to get her a guitar of her own. The Backyardigans guitar stood out because it has buttons on the fret and has a strummer.

It plays a couple of songs. While the songs are playing if your you can strum along or press the fret buttons to add a guitar riff or interject words into the song. It’s a cute guitar, and Rae loves it. My only complaint is that there isn’t a volume control. The speaker is located on the backside of the guitar, so when it plays music it is extremely loud. It can become annoying. The guitar would be so much better with a volume control since Rae loves playing with it but Mommy can only take so much.
