  "question": "Which baby musical toys help build motor skills or cause-and-effect learning?",
  "answer": "Hape Cal's Smart Sounds Symphony (SKU 12357-000): There are no keys or buttons; tapping the wooden surface activates sound. It has three modes: Instrument, Color/Animal and Freestyle. The three play modes are intended to encourage cognitive development.\nHape / Baby Einstein Clever Composer Tune Table Magic Touch Activity Toy (12398 / E12398H48): A wooden activity center using Magic Touch technology; the child taps the wooden surface to make sound. It offers 22 instrument options and three play modes. The three modes are Freestyle for music-making, Learn for language discovery, and Silly for sound effects. Adult assembly is required.\nHape E12396 / 12396-000: Realistic guitar sounds respond to the child's strumming movements. It has two guitar sound settings, acoustic and banjo, and can play pre-recorded tunes.\nHape Notes & Keys Magic Touch Keyboard: The keyboard uses Magic Touch technology so music plays without physical buttons or keys. The maker's Baby Einstein collection says the Notes & Keys piano can play drum, cymbal, xylophone or piano sounds, or music.",
