Tesco Instrument Set

There is research to suggest that music, including singing and playing instruments is a valuable learning experience for young children, developing all learning areas, language and literacy, mathematical skills, social skills, physical development etc, and so when he was given this set of instruments last Christmas at the age of 11 months we were delighted as he could now sho off to the extended family his musical talents, as of course my child is going to be the next Tchaikovsky!

The tesco instrument set is a set of musical instruments for children aged 18 months plus and includes a drum with drumsticks, maracas, a tambourine, a glockenspiel and castanets all of which are very loud and very annoying, my son loves it.
