## Overview

## Description

Product Description This colorful xylophone is a child's ideal first introduction to music! Mallets in hand, children can explore simple music concepts through creative play, becoming familiar with an octave, intervals, and rhythms. Over time, this little caterpillar will help children develop an appreciation for sound and music! The nifty wooden mallets store neatly in the xylophone itself to look like the caterpillar's antennas. Directions 1. Hold the xylophone with one hand. 2. Use the wooden mallets with the other hand to strike the bars to play music.

Review: Expectations fell a little flat - As my wife convinces me that Melissa & Doug are the superior children's toy brand, I decided to take it upon meself to replace the pile of steamy crap that is the blessed Xylophone from some unknown family member. So looking up desertcart for Melissa & Doug Xylophones, I clicked buy without second thought, TRUSTING HER BLINDLY. To my surprise, while the build quality of this toy is fantastic, with strong rubust mallets and thick wood and metal keys (to be fair nothing could be worse in comparison to the splintering excuse of sushi chopsticks wrapped in rebar shavings of my son's previous toy), I have an Eb, Fb, and a G# on this toy. WHAT, may I ask, is the point of this well-produced out-of-tune toy? My son is going to be playing with this through his young, impressionable age and grow up to sing a demented minor key version of the ABC song! If he develops perfect pitch, it'd be perfectly off key. So, yay to toy, nay for musical accuracy. I give 3/5, which is slightly better than 4/7, the number of accurate keys on the Xylophone I received.
Review: Perfect for the music loving toddler - Purchased for daughter's 3rd birthday - packaging was very easy to open. Sound quality is not as great as I would expect, but for a toy that does get "kid handled" a lot, it seems to be holding up well to daily use. Colors are very bright and vibrant, though within the first day of use the red on the mallets has started to chip off. Kiddos are having a great time playing with it. Mom appreciates that it isn't too loud since it gets played so often!
