I'm on the hunt for a gift for Bella.
When i was little i had a tape recorder that i would make up songs and sing my heart out into it. My mom has all the cassettes saved, and they are hilarious to listen to. I mean, i would make up songs about getting dressed! "I get out of bed. I put on my socks. I put on my dress. i buckle my shoe!" (and yes those are the exact words to one of my famous songs lol)
Bella is exactly like i was when i was little. Dancing, Singing, and a giant ham, and i know she would LOVE something like this, and i know it would serve for hours of entertainment for her.
Now all i can find that is up to date (sans cassettes, cause i mean, where the heck am i going to play those in 10 years) won't record.
Does anyone have anything like this in their home that they can recommend? If i have to get the cassette one i will, but I'll have to change everything to MP3 format somehow after...
Re: Moms i need your help please!
Gianna has a Meow-sic keyboard made by B toys that will record a little snippet - but I don't think you could extract it to MP3's...it could be a fun toy for Bella though - G loves singing into the microphone:

I found this too - I haven't seen it though, so not sure about the exporting part:
