what parents are saying
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 baby loves this! Got it at 6 months old and now at 15 months it’s still his favorite toy. He matches the colors of the balls with the holes and loves the music when the balls drop on the xylophone Nov 07, 2023

We received this as a gift, and initially I was skeptical. I was so wrong! My son loves everything about this. He played with is 6 months-2 years+ and is still going strong! Nov 06, 2023

This is a staple for my first birthday gift list. I buy it quite often for birthday parties. Sep 23, 2023

One of my favorite early toys for sitters because you can use the xylophone or balls separately or combine as intended. Solid construction and nice sound to xylophone. Jun 15, 2023

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

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
- Julia S.

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
- Lindsay M.

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

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

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.

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
- Lea B.
Mesa, Arizona
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

I bought this toy for the wooden aesthetic and I’m glad I did! It’s gotten years of use! The balls are hard though so just make sure they don’t get thrown. Jul 30, 2023

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.

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

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

- Emily B.

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
- Brandy B.

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
- Nadia M.
Kirkland, Washington
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
- Callie P.

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

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

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

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
