Halilit Baby's First Birthday Band Musical Instrument Gift Set. Includes Ocean Drum, Baby Maraca, Ring My Bell, Rainboshaker & Clip Clap. Music Sensory Baby Toy. Suitable for Boys & Girls 12 months +

This product is clearly advertised as suitable for babies aged 12 months. Very enthusiastically I have purchased it for my 2 sons at 3 months to complement baby sensory classes. The instruments are colourful and bright and sturdily made. Most of the them are currently too big for them at their current age although at 12 months they should have no problem at all using them. The exception is the maracas which is small enough for their tiny hands to grasp and light enough for them to shake about (although they don't yet realise what they are doing!). This enables them to improve their grasp and hand strength as well as engaging several of the senses. With the other instruments, these can be utilised by parents/carers as a way of introducing music, enhancing sensory development and providing for some quality play time together until the baby is old enough to use themselves. I have not yet had the opportunity to pay the CD (as I need to find a player somewhere!).

My son is 5 months old and loves sounds; talking, music, tapping, singing, you name it, so I was looking to buy a rattle to use during tummy time and found this set. Was a little apprehensive at first as it was a bit more than I was originally looking to spend but I'm so glad I purchased this. He's already waving the rattle around like a little demon and he's mesmerized by the drum. Not too interested in the rain maker or bells ATM but I think he will be given time. So glad I purchased the whole set and would definitely recommend, although we're playing with a lot of my supervision as they are hard plastic and I occasionally have to stop my baby from smacking himself in the head with the rattle but c'est la vie!

Best gift i have ever bought for my daughter 7 years ago and still in great condition 7 yearsAfter

Great toys, suitable and engaging for lots of different ages, good value set

Great set. My daughter uses these at her baby sensory group and these seem to be the official ones also sold by baby sensory. She enjoys all of the toys in the set. Quality is excellent, and can be used from small babys to older toddlers.

Happy with item

My nephew loved this he has great fun with it

My baby had this set in her stocking at Christmas (10 months old), and oh my goodness was it a hit. Our house is now always full of shaky shaky sounds, highly recommended for babies and toddlers who like making music.
