Musical toys and instruments for kids

Music is one of the easiest ways to play together. A baby shaking a rattle, a toddler hitting a drum and an older child learning a first chord on a ukulele are all making music, and all of them are learning rhythm and listening.

Our musical range includes a tuned wooden xylophone, a percussion set with a drum, tambourine and shakers, a 32-key mini keyboard, a small ukulele with nylon strings and a set of baby shakers. Each product page lists the age range, the size, the materials and whether batteries are needed.

Musical play supports listening, rhythm, coordination, memory and confidence. Children also learn to take turns when one plays and the others listen or dance.

You do not need to read music to enjoy these toys. Start by copying simple rhythms, singing familiar songs and letting children explore the sounds freely. Lessons can come later if the interest stays.

Common questions

Is the xylophone tuned?

Yes. The metal bars of our xylophone are tuned to a major scale, so children can play simple melodies.

Which musical toys work without batteries?

All of our musical toys work without batteries except the mini keyboard, which uses batteries or a USB cable.

What size ukulele is right for a child?

Our kids' ukulele is a small soprano size, which suits children from about 6 years. Adults can also play it.
