Many music educators use xylophones as a resource in assisting children’s musical development—learning to differentiate between tones and pitches, and experimenting with rhythm. And guess what? Studies show that an early introduction to music is great for mastering tough math skills later in life! This open-ended musical toy is also great for sensory play: not only do children enjoy hearing the beautiful, soothing unique sound of a xylophone, but little ones also love the vibrations that they feel when each bar is hit. Just place the xylophone in your child’s lap and ask them to hit the bars with different intensities to feel the different vibrations.

With bright traditional colors that kids love, this multifunctional wall-hanging wooden xylophone can be played with on the floor or tabletop, and also functions as cheerful décor in a kids bedroom! Adult installation required; hanging hardware not included.
