Customer Reviews
Great toy for 8 months old as well! Our little one (almost 8 months old) already figured out how to use this toy. He was watching us using it first and tried himself right afterwards and loves to bang on it! And the xylophon beeing made of wood helps to keep our ears healthy.
gentle sounds and rounded edges Gentle sounds and rounded edges = good for baby. A nice break (for us both) from the bells and beeps and whistles that come from most baby toys. She started playing with this around 8 months (while supervised. It's really sturdy/well made but there are small pieces between each of the notes that potentially could come off if the elastic strings snapped so for the time being we play with it together). It is easier and safer for her to run a block back and forth over the keys rather than hold the mallet that comes with it for the time being. It makes a lovely sound and it's not crazy loud, even when she slams on it. An older child would probably want something bigger/louder (Plan also makes a more "advanced" xylophone with a full octave for around the same price). But as a starter musical instrument I'm happy with this and I think we'll get our $$ worth. It's also really well made, I have confidence in this and other products from this company.
Not a musical toy!!!! It is pretty, but it sounds terrible. You cannot play anything resembling a tune. Save your money and buy a toy that has actual notes. I love the Fisher price baby grand piano that has a complete octave.
