    Great quality toy Mar 13, 2023

    • Anna M.

    • United States of America

    Our son received this as a gift for his first birthday and loved it! I recommend using with adult supervision if your baby likes to hurl balls! Mar 10, 2023

  • Our child received this for her first birthday and the xylophone was an instant hit. It grows well with kiddos as they begin the underside how the balls work in turn with the music. Great gift idea! Jan 17, 2023

  • My toddler was really interested in this at around 12 months. He lost interest at 18 months but we might re introduce later as the xylophone should be fun, even for an older toddler. Well made. Jan 16, 2023

  • I love that you can use the xylophone separately. The balls and hammer only got a couple weeks of use, but the xylophone is still being played with over a year later! Dec 23, 2022

  • This came with the xylophone bent so a couple keys didn’t make noise. Also I tripped on it and it broke/splintered like crazy so it didn’t feel very solid for the cost. Sep 25, 2022

    We are slowly starting to enjoy this toy at 12m. He gets super excited at the sounds. Mar 26, 2022

  • My kids love putting the balls through the holes and listening to the sounds it makes on the xylophone Nov 12, 2021

  • The balls are a great size for littles to hold and can be used in a variety of ways to entertain my child. Jul 20, 2021

  • Cute little idea for more Montessori type learning. Works just as you would imagine. Jun 22, 2021

  • A beautiful toy with a lovely sound! Xylophone slides out for separate use with the hammer. It’s easy to lose the wooden spheres though. Jun 19, 2021

  • Great eco cause and effect toy. My son loved hammering the ball into the holes and hearing the xylophone make noise as the ball rolled on it. He would also take the xylophone out and play it. May 02, 2021

  • Received this as a gift. My son likes to push the balls through and work in matching colors. Not so much interested in the xylophone aspect of it. But you can slide it out. Feb 26, 2021

  • This is a super versatile and sturdy musical toy. It allows the child to find new ways to make music and encourages creativity. We received it at 1.5 years and still gets regular use a year later! Feb 10, 2021

  • Cute and functional! Love this toy! Oct 02, 2020

  • Great toy for little boys who want to bang things around but still make music! Sep 25, 2020

  • so much fun and practice for little hands. Not overly loud of annoying. Apr 25, 2020

  • This is one of my daughters favorite toys. She loves music! The only downside is the hammer. She likes to carry it around and I'm afraid she will fall with it in her mouth. Feb 03, 2020

  • Received as a gift for first birthday. The balls are very heavy (hurt if thrown at you) and the hammer isn't my choice for a baby toy. I ended up taking it away from my daughter. Jan 24, 2020

    • Sara B.

    • Rancho Santa Margarita, California

    This toy was a hit. Love that it has several things to do in one. Just keep an eye on little one with the hammer, as it’s pretty solid and hard in case they use it on something other than the toy. Jan 19, 2020

  • You can do so much with this toy! Take the xylophone out or use with the balls, use the hammer on the balls or xylophone, work on matching colors with the balls, etc. Jan 03, 2020

  • My daughter loves this or could care less (she’s 1). I think it’s a great 2 for 1 toy and doesn’t take up much space. Jan 02, 2020

  • Well made, two in one wood toy. Has the Montessori style ball push. And a xylophone - the noise is gentle and not obnoxious. Sep 29, 2019

  • Love this toy. Helps with the concept of cause + effect which is very important for early toddlers. It makes fun noises and is great help as I reduce the amount of over stimulating toys as she grows Sep 10, 2019

  • Engaging! Apr 29, 2019

  • Great multi-use tool. Xylophone comes out to play with separately. It fun to hit the balls and watch them fall on the xylophone. Apr 10, 2019

  • Purchased this for my daughters first birthday this past October, she loves hearing the music the balls make when they hit the xylophone. Her 3 Y/O brother also likes to play with this toy. Feb 18, 2019

  • Lots of fun but balls are heavy and my son has been known to throw the balls, so just a warning. Feb 06, 2022

    • Jess K.

    • Gautier, Mississippi

    This gets played with everyday still by my 15 month old since it was introduced at 10 months. He loves the xylophone by itself and loves when he pushes the balls through and they make music. Aug 30, 2020

    • Grace R.

    • Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

    There’s so many ways to play with this toy, my son never gets bored with it! Feb 09, 2020

    • Beth M.

    • United States of America

    My baby loves pushing the balls down and then chasing after them. Feb 07, 2020

  • Extremely well built. Great for practicing the small hammer motion, and matching the balls to the proper color spots. Love that you can store everything on the item so it doesn’t get lost! Dec 29, 2019

  • She doesn't make a whole lot of music yet but my daughter loves this toy. She'll use the xylophone and she likes to pack the wooden balls around and make sure the floor's secure with the mallet. Jan 19, 2019

  • Baby loves xylophone though doesn't care for the bench. It takes quite a few hits to make the ball go through the opening. Neat idea to have the ball fall onto xylophone and make sound as it rolls. Oct 01, 2018

  • Received this as a gift. We've played with it but the balls go everywhere and now it's fun to throw them (the balls are wooden). I might put away for a little while. Feb 19, 2018

  • We love this pound and tap toy. Our daughter received it for her first birthday. She loves to play music more than pounding, but that's okay. I think it'll grow on her as she gets older as well. Jan 17, 2018

  • My son likes this toy but the wooden balls and mallet are heavy and he has hurt himself a few times when playing. Dec 07, 2017

  • This is such a great toy. My son loved hammering the balls, the fun sound, and playing with the xylophone with the hammer. Nov 13, 2017

  • The xylophone has great sound. Love the idea of this toy, but wish the balls had a longer track to run down. Nov 03, 2017

  • Size is perfect, this takes up hardly any space. I love that this is wood. Bright colors and nice quality Oct 30, 2017

    • Katie H.

    • Mount Laurel, New Jersey

    DD bumped above her eye on it as soon as we gave it to her. Probably too early (10 months). Now at 17 month she only likes to take it apart. Jul 29, 2017

    • Dina D.

    • Forest Hills , New York

    Everything is great about this toy. It is entertaining, musical and fun. My 2yo plays it from 10mo. He finds some way to play with it, now he is using it as a bench and using hammer for other stuff. May 09, 2017

  • I love the quality of the construction and it looks beautiful. Multiple learning modes in one. The only thing is the keys are off pitch.. Mar 06, 2017

  • I really like this toy, it is great for hand and eye coordination. It's a really simple concept but there is lots to do for baby. I love that the xylophone makes noise every time a ball goes through! Feb 20, 2017

  • One of my toddler's favorites Dec 06, 2016

  • Every part of this is a toy in itself! So fun to learn cause and effect. Jun 01, 2016

  • Haven't met a hape toy that my kids didn't love. They've been playing with this thing since wee babes. Well built, and beautiful. May 07, 2016

  • My daughter loves rolling the balls, playing with the hammer, and taking the xylophone in and out. Great toy. Apr 22, 2016

    • Kelly M.

    Baby girl loves to hold the balls and bang them together. just starting to discover the xylophone at 11 months. Sep 30, 2014

  • LOVE this as a 1 year old gift. My little guy plays with it all of the time. Sep 08, 2014
