They get you moving help with co-ordination, and can keep you entertained for ages.

This piano mat from Hamley’s is great twist on the electrionic keyboard and is aimed at children too young to use a dance mat. You can do the things that a normal keyboard does, like make recordings of your music and play a demo but using your feet. You can find out more about this item at the Hamley’s website.

I have just discovered the iKaraoke; an all in one microphone processor that allows you to sing along with the favourite tunes on your iPod. You simply plug the device into your iPod and select the songs you want to sing along to, you can even plug in and play the whole lot on your stereo so the whole family can hear your beautiful voice!

The iKaraoke is made by Griffin Technology who specialise in manufacturing hardware and software products for the Mac and other popular brands.

Available at Amazon.com for $34.94 and Amazon.co.uk for £16.90. For more information see the Griffin Technology website.

The toy moves to your favourite music tracks and even plays your music through the built in speaker. As you can probably tell by the name, the iDog is used with your iPod therefore you can get your new doggie friend to rock to all the songs on your mp3 player. The toy is made by Hasbro and is set to be a best seller this Christmas. It comes in a variety of colours including black, pink, blue, white and even Dalmatian.

The iDog can be bought for about £25 from Amazon and you can even buy cute little clothes for him to wear! The iCat and iFish are also available here but are a little more expensive that the iDog.
