Jet Pilot Interactive Dashboard
Play Basics
Your little one will love the engaging hands-on experience with this interactive dashboard that mimics those used by jet pilots in real life. The toy is designed to include every possible detail, giving an exciting and unique opportunity for kids ages three and older to really let their imaginations soar. The wooden airplane dashboard includes a steering yoke, scrolling map, four-speed throttle, 22 sound effects (and two volume options), light-up dials, full-color destination scenes, pretend-play headset, reusable checklist, and more!
Playful Details
Buckle up and get ready to take off on an adventure with this Melissa & Doug jet pilot dashboard! Kids can start the exciting journey by inserting one of the double-sided destination scenes into the snap-on windscreen. Ready for take-off? Turn the knobs to start the engine, then grab the four-position throttle that plays realistic engine sounds and adjusts the speed of a scrolling map. Little pilots can keep an eye on their progress by turning the yoke to move a mini-plane in the scrolling display. The airplane dashboard features 22 sounds including turbo boost, landing gear, tower communications, weather sound effects, and seat belt ding. Now it’s time to talk to the passengers! Kids can record a message and play it back with a voice change, and the destination dial will say “hello” in six different languages (English, Mandarin, French, Hindi, Spanish, and Arabic). Want a little international music? The radio station button plays music from each destination. Overnight flights are exciting when using night mode featuring light-up dials that change color. Kids can enhance their pilot role play experience by wearing the pretend headset and going through the re-usable takeoff and landing checklist.
Ages: 3+

After about nine minutes of inactivity, the interactive dashboard will automatically shut off to prevent battery drain. (The dashboard requires three AA batteries, not included.)
Skills at Play
The dials, buttons, throttle, and extra fidget switch on the dashboard are all great for keeping little fingers busy as they encourage kids to work on fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The recording feature and radio button help with language skills, and the sky’s the limit when it comes to opportunities for imaginative play.
