Advantages: good incentivefor pracvticing fine motor

Disadvantages: not everso musical

We have this over xylophone at the special needs school I work at.
It is attractive to look at.

This xylophone is made of wood a preservative free rubber wood. It feels nice and soft smooth. It has only has 5 colourful keys red orange yellow blue and green it has a wooden beater to go with it. This beater is easy to hold by little hands.

This toy is suitable for 2 year olds. The tone is a gently plink plonk not harsh and tinny It is not really very musical difficult to play a real tune on.

A small child will just love to make the sounds.
This toy will help them with their fine and gross motor skills and will help them gain rhythm.
I would recommend this for a 2 to 4 year old.

This toy costs £10.70 from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plan-Toys-0640502-Oval-Xyl ophone Of course it's too late to get one for tomorrow Christmas day, but hey never mind. Have fun playing with your children's toys. You could always make music by getting a wooden spoon and banging the beer and coke cans just leave some drink in each one and find the different sounds.

Summary: A woodem xylophone
