Ucreate Music and Multi Voice Changer
If you have kids who are mad about music you might want to buy Ucreate Music by Mattel and the Multi Voice Changer by Toysmith.
The Ucreate music was huge last year but remains popular for this Christmas too. Just as reality TV music shows continue to be popular so too do those toys that allow you to create your own music. So what is this particular toy? It is an easy to use digital remixing machine so your kids can pretend they are music producers a la Simon Cowell.

They can create their own tracks, share them with friends and also access the special effects, tracks and other bonuses available at the online library at myucreate.com. You can mix and match different tunes i.e. ones you create yourself or those that you download to come up with a different sound. Just be careful not to crash your computer when downloading as these files can be quite large.
One of the main complaints about this toy was that it took some time to set up but others thought that added to the appeal. The recommended age range is 8 to 15 years but as you will see from the reviews posted online a lot of adults have bought this gadget for themselves.
It is extremely easy to operate and you can record your performance and then listen to it on your iPod which increases the cool factor. The more you use it the more you realize how much potential there is to have fun with this. Sure you may want to buy your child a good pair of headphones so that they can practice in peace. We are all trying to get our kids to be more creative and to stay away from the TV and video games so this is an excellent choice as it appeals to their love of technology and their wish to be seen as cool by their friends. Well worth the price especially when you can often find it on sale.
A lot of people who buy the Ucreate music also buy the Multi Voice Changer by Toysmith. Although made by a different manufacturers the two complement each other perfectly. The voice changer contains ten different voice modifiers in one unit but you can actually create hundreds of different combinations. It also has flashing LED lights which always delight kids. It costs less than $15 but provides hours of fun with some reporting that the kids had problems wrestling their voice changer away from the adults who all wanted to say “Luke, I am your father” in their best Darth Vader voice.
