NEW YORK, NY , Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toy Fair 2018 - February 15, 2018 – The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (OTCQX: SMDM) – the North American leader in consumer karaoke products – today announced three new additions to its popular Kids Series line on display at Toy Fair 2018, booth #6865. The Kids Karaoke Pedestal, Groove Mini and the Kid’s Keyboard & Microphone are just a few of the key 2018 items that provide children with joy through music while positively impacting key areas of development such as language, brain and body, wellness and confidence. For 15 years, the karaoke pedestal has been Singing Machine’s flagship design and for the first time ever, the company is offering a similar product to their younger audience that has many of the same features, but with a color pattern and kid-friendly design built for children.
Singing Machines 2018 product lineup includes the following items:
- Kids Karaoke Pedestal (MSRP: $79.99 Ages 6+) is a karaoke system for the younger generation. Features include Bluetooth audio streaming, record and playback function, six cool voice changer effects, and two microphones with volume control so parents can perform duets with their kids.
- Groove Mini (MSRP: $49.99 Ages 6+) offers everything children need to turn their rooms into a stage. The Groove includes six fun voice changer effects, can create a disco light show, and features MP3 & MP3+G compatibility to share the lyrics on the big screen. A Bluetooth connection enables seamless wireless audio streaming, a mobile device cradle, two microphone jacks with volume control, and one wired microphone.
- Kid’s Keyboard & Microphone ($29.99 Ages 4+) lets children practice singing along to eight pre-programmed songs with the individual music sheet. This light and learn keyboard features 8 light-up keys that make it easy to follow and learn songs. There is also a PLAY mode that enables kids to create their own songs. Other features include record and playback function, and a stand-alone adjustable mic stand.
"Music and song can play a powerful role in helping children improve their language development, concentration, memory, visual and listening skills, while building confidence," said Gary Atkinson, CEO, The Singing Machine Company. "The Singing Machine Kids product line provides a true gift to children that delivers a joyful, learning and musical memory experience today and for years to come."
Singing Machine has been the leader in home-karaoke for 35 years and for the first time the company is expanding into the preschool education category as they’re introducing the The Wise Ol’ Owl Blackboard calculator (MSRP: $24.99 Ages 4+). The calculator provides basic math functions such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in three different languages (English, Spanish and French).
