For babies and toddlers, some of the earliest learning experiences happen through play. Touching, listening, repeating, and interacting can transform an ordinary moment into an opportunity for discovery.

Crib Notes was created with that idea in mind.

Crib Notes is an interactive audio playback toy designed to help introduce young children to the alphabet. Its soft piano-inspired design incorporates two rows of A–Z buttons that children can press during play.

What makes the concept particularly engaging is its audio functionality. Each button can be associated with recorded audio, allowing a child to press a letter and hear the corresponding recording through the toy’s speaker. The design also incorporates recording functionality, allowing an adult to record audio associated with individual buttons.

Learning with a Familiar Voice

One of the ideas behind Crib Notes is the ability for a child to hear familiar voices while learning.

A parent or caregiver could record alphabet sounds for the individual buttons. Later, when the child presses a button during playback, that recording can be heard.

This creates an opportunity to combine early learning with the familiarity of someone the child knows.

Designed for Little Learners

Crib Notes combines several forms of interaction in one toy. Children can see the letters, physically press the buttons, and listen to the associated audio.

The concept is also designed with flexibility in mind. It can be used during floor play, while its retractable hook assembly provides an option for mounting the toy over an appropriate rail or similar structure.

Whether incorporated into everyday playtime or a child’s learning routine, Crib Notes presents a simple idea with plenty of possibilities:

Learning starts with a touch.
