Karaoke machines are…a lot. I know. When I first got pregnant and started picking out baby gear for my gift registry, I only had two rules: no noisy toys, and no creepy dolls. Why would I sign myself up for a headache or a haunting? Three kids later, I’ve quite literally changed my tune, because no noisy toys would mean no musical toys, and as I quickly learned, musical toys keep my kids the most entertained. (I kept my rule about the creepy dolls. Can’t be too careful these days.) And of all the musical toys in our house, our two (yup, TWO) karaoke machines get the most use.

Now, the thought of karaoke machines might conjure foggy memories of dive bars and ’80s power ballads. But singing can build self-esteem and community. It can teach rhythm and pattern recognition, and can help kids memorize new information. (I can still list all 50 states alphabetically since learning Fifty Nifty United States in the 4th grade.) So for the love of song, here are the best karaoke machines for kids.
