great first xylophone
written over 1 year agobright colors, nontoxic, and makes a nice sound. I count on great quality from plan toys and have not been disappointed. we have quite a few of their products and my daughter loves them. mommy does too :) we bought this about two years ago, it still gets played with and it has held up beautifully – I would highly recommend this as a great first xylophone.
A New Favorite at Our House
written over 3 years agoOnce again, Plan Toys has scored huge at our house. This xylophone is functional, beautiful, and sturdy. It teaches our son cause and effect as he plays it, which he does over and over again.
A great first instrument
written almost 4 years agoBought this for my 13 month old daughter, since she likes music. It’s a good first instrument. As other reviewers have mentioned, the notes are not in tune. But it doesn’t matter to my daughter – she enjoys banging the keys, and hearing the sounds that come out. This is not an everyday toy, but she enjoys playing with it every now and then when I bring it out. I’m not sure about unsupervised play with it, since the mallet could be dangerous at her age. But for a first musical instrument, it’s a great purchase.
great fist xylophone
written about 4 years agoI really like this toy. Yes the keys are wooden so it doesn’t make very accurate noises, but I was still impressed with how each key does make different sounds. I like this one for a younger child because the keys are securely attached and it holds up to a beating. My 8 month old mostly chews on the mallet but she will bang on the keys too and seems pleased with the noise she can make. I would recommend this as a first xylophone if your baby is very young. Older kids should probably just go for a metal one for more accurate notes.
Good music intro
written over 4 years agoMy son loves this xylophone so far. He’s 11 months and it’s a good toy for his age. While he’ll need to progress so to something more accurate sounding when he is older, it is great for now
good for infant
written over 4 years agoI would agree with others this is better for an infant than toddler. The wood produces a lovely marimba-like sound as opposed to a true xylophone, and the notes are not in order, which would be confusing if you’re trying to teach an older child music. I’m using it more as an alternative to electronic toys and to introduce my son to the concept of using a tool (the mallet). But it’s not the kind of xylophone you can play a song on.
Beautiful music maker
written over 4 years agoOur son was given this for his first birthday – so far he is more interested in eating the mallet than playing but he will bang around and make some music. It is lightweight and easy for him to play with – I think he will become more interested in playing with it when he no longer puts everything in his mouth. So far, so good!
Very nice.
written over 4 years agoOverall, this is nice first xylophone and very nice to play with, as an adult. Our 16 month old son isn’t as captivated by it as we had hoped. We had a baby piano with similar colors that we learned had toxic parts to it so we took it away and replaced it with this. He keeps trying to “play” keys like his old piano and seems to get frustrated a little. I’m sure he will get the hang of it soon. I am looking forward to getting him the melody xylophone, by Plan Toys also, when he is little older, since this one has a nice sound, but is not in tune.
nice sound
written over 4 years agoThis is a really cute item. I had it in storage for Christmas but took it out today just to see if our 8 month old would be interested in it. She was more interested in putting the stylus in her mouth but did enjoy the various sounds. It appears to be well made and the sounds it makes are very nice…reminds me of a wind chime.
Great First Instrument
written almost 5 years agoWe purchased this xylophone for our twins’ first birthday. Both girls enjoy sitting down and hammering out a tune. The keys aren’t tuned, so you can’t really play a song with it, but the girls don’t care, they still make their own “music”! It is a well made toy with a simple and beautiful design.
