Designed for little ones 12 months and up, this versatile xylophone offers multiple ways to play and explore. Children can pound the balls to send them tinkling across the keys or pull out the keyboard to enjoy a solo musical moment. As they play, it supports dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and an understanding of cause and effect, while encouraging early musical development and sound recognition. Crafted with durability in mind, it features child-safe construction with non-toxic finishes and water-based paint. A standout favorite, it was awarded the 2018 Cribsie Award for a top first musical toy.
