 Good toy for young children August 20, 2008
Rebecca Emmons (Stillwater, OK)
This toy is not musical at all, and only has six notes, but it is a good introduction for babies, because they can whap the keys with their hands and make noise. The three balls are challenging in that they just barely fit through their holes, so your child can either push them through manually or practice pounding skills with the included hammer. My son, when he was 7 or 8 months, would actually pry the balls up from their resting places in the holes, instead of pushing them through, but a few months later he became better at pushing them through. He's learning things like color matching, and that sometimes things only go one way.
A drawback - the middle ball can block the far left ball from rolling out because there's not enough clearance between it and the slope. But that's another problem my son can figure out when he decides to. (You will also likely see your child putting other things through the hole, to see if they will fit and if they will roll.) If you want a truly musical toy, I recommend the Glockentoddler, which has an 8-note scale and is useful for kids who have figured out how to use tools a bit better (i.e. to bang things with). But this toy is good for other things and I recommend for older babies.
Fun toy! June 26, 2008

I was surprised when my little daughter knew just how to pick up the hammer and start whaling away on this! She has a blast. Her hand did get caught one time as she was trying to get a ball out, but it hasn't stopped her from playing with it!
Love it!! June 18, 2008

Great toy. I bought this for my 9 month old who loves banging on things with her hands or her sippie cup, eventually she'll use the hammer. It's good entertainment with primary colors and notes to make simple music.
Really cute, especially for the price May 10, 2008

I purchase toys for homeless kids and this was really a hit. I would never guess it was so inexpensive... delivered! It may not be in tune, but it's fun, durable, colorful and the kids love it. You can play it with the keys, or use the hammer on the keys (not much sound hammering the colored plates though) and you can hammer the colored balls, that play sounds as they fall. It's well worth the price.
Great toy! April 7, 2008

This is a great toy, lots of fun. My daughter loves pounding away on the musical notes as well as the balls. Plus, she loves to take the balls out & throw them around. Gave it a 3 on educational level, because I am doubtful that any toy can be "educational" in and of itself.
