Tummy-time play with five linkable toys that can be reposition for your baby. View larger. | Comfortable, Colorful Design This bright and cheery activity center features a quilt with a silky border and colorful arches supported by an adorable giraffe. A variety of links let you attach toys up above or down below to capture baby's attention. A cushy monkey, jingly toucan, cute elephant, and parrot with spinning paddle invite baby to bat them around, an action that helps develop gross motor skills. You can also place baby on her stomach for some back-strengthening "tummy time." For added excitement, there's a spinner with rattling beads, spinning butterflies, a shiny mirror, and a crinkly leaf. Three Modes of Play To suit baby's mood, this gym offers three modes of play. In the first mode, baby's movements set off eight to 12 seconds of lights and music, which helps teach your child about the relationship between cause and effect. Another option is the music mode, which develops baby's auditory sense with 20 minutes of continuous music. Finally, the rainforest mode plays 20 continuous minutes of rainforest sounds while baby plays or simply relaxes--don't be surprised if he's soothed right off to dreamland! This activity center measures 20 x 32.5 x 32.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 4.7 pounds. What's in the Box Quilt, arches, and a variety of hanging toys with links.

Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe GymCustomer Review: Great floor gym Summary: 4 Stars
Our daughter loves this gym. The minute we got it, I set it up and she's loved it ever since.
Pros:
- TOYS: All of the toys that come with the gym can be moved around. Our daughter definitely has her favorites. She loves the monkey and the bird that rattles. The elephant that rattles is also something she'll grab at and watch. I know another reviewer said the way the mirror is positioned your baby can't look at themselves. We found this to be true also, but we were able to move the mirror from the place it comes in when shipped to a different position and the problem was solved. Now our daughter can stare at herself without me having to angle the mirror towards her! There are also extra rungs so you can purchase and attach more toys of your choice. We've added a bug that vibrates when pulled and a butterfly that chimes. Also there are attachments on the mat itself so when our DD is on her stomach she can play not only with the ribbons and tiger tail but whatever toy you would like to attach to the sides.
- MUSIC: The music is great. It plays "row, row, row your boat," "friar Jack(sorry I don't know how to spell it in french)," and some other tunes I don't know. It also will play nature sounds in the middle of the songs or has a setting specifically for nature sounds. The music will also turn off after 20minutes to save battery life, which after daily use for 2 months we haven't had to change yet.
Cons:
- The mat is really thin. I probably never would have noticed but we have all hardwoods in our house and there is not enough padding for me to be comfortable having our little girl on it. We put it on a rug to give her extra padding especially when she was just learning to lift up her head. When she got tired she would just bang her head down and the mat is not padded enough for this!
- I thought the mobile with the butterflies would spin but it doesn't. Maybe it's supposed to, but it's too tight. I know there's a setting for the music to start up whenever she bats at the butterflies but it doesn't ever work because she'd have to grab them and tug pretty hard.
- The mat doesn't pack away easily, so be prepared for this to take up some floor space.
- This is neither a con nor pro but a clarification: I thought the leaves would move up and down just like i thought the mobile would spin. They don't. It doesn't bother me but it was something that I probably would have wanted to know just so I knew more about what I was purchasing.
All that being said, I really would buy this mat again. I just didn't think with the cons it deserved 5 stars. Maybe I would try another floor gym out for variety, but I'm not at all dissapointed with my first floor gym purchase!!
