Mar 26 2008Finger Piano Toy Came With Kid's Magazine

Shougaku Ichinensei, a Japanese magazine for 1st graders, always comes with a special learning toy, and this month it was an awesome Finger Piano. Here's the video. I'm not sure, because it's hard to hear the music over the noise of it being banged against the table, but I think it's someone having a seizure trying to play When the Saints Go Marching In. Still, a fun little gadget, I know I'd be stoked if I was in 1st grade and got something resembling a Power Glove. I mean WTF Highlights? Where were you on this? You didn't come with shit but paper cuts and those damn hidden picture games on the back.

Another video after the jump proving beyond the shadow of a doubt it's practically a fully functional piano you wear on your hand.

i like how the person in the first video is wearing a suit with a tie

The first video is pretty neat. The tapping almost provides a drum-like beat to go with the sound.

I'd like this coupled to a 404 please.

holy crap, Highlights?! Best magazine made for kids, ever. That Goofus and Gallant taught me lessons i'll never forget.

LOL! Why did Joe throw the clock out the window?
