Advantages: gentle sound
Disadvantages: ?
This bright snazzy wooden xylophone comes from Bigjigs. We have one at work .
This is 330 mm long can be played on the floor or on the table.
This xylophone is suitable for children over 3 years old.
This is an attractive instrument with smooth wood base and 12 colourfull wooden bars/ keys. Each of the keys/bars is a different colour. The bars are colours of the rainbow red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo , violet there are 2 bars/keys of most of the colours. The xylepohone comes with 2 wooden beaters. These are a stick with a small wooden ball stuck on the end.
This xylophone is easy for a child to play.
Musically it does not make a loud clanging noise but has a dull soft tone when the keys are beaten. The different notes can be identified and a recognizable tune could be played on this xylophone.
This is a well made toy it should last a long time.
I found it for sale on line at http://www.woodentoysonline.co.uk/acatalog/info_BJ 416.html for £11.99.
Xylophones like this are good for children. Will help them practice their fine motor skills
Often the xylophone is a Childs first musical instrument and will help develop sound recognition and stimulate their hearing and listening skills. This toy will help develop creativity and can be used to help colour recognition. Playing a xylophone encourages social interaction
Music is a great medium for learning. Yes I would recomend

- 02/02/09 Looks lovely, only problem is that I know my boys would lose the...er...hitting sticks (do they have a proper name?!) within hours of getting it out the box. After they'd beaten each other black and blue with them, that is! |

- 31/01/09 We had the Fischer-Price one for years. What I liked about it above all the other xylophones was that it played true notes. Some of these play either slightly flat or sharp and with a musical family, that could be painful. |
