"This intro keyboard is so much fun! Personally one of my favorites on this list. The Cat Meow sound effect option is actually really cool musically, but it also comes with basic keyboard sounds and a mic your child can sing with. "

"I’ve never tried this piano myself, but the videos look solid, and I like that it comes with some color coded sheet music for our 3-5 year olds to try to “read” and play some music. "

"Harmonicas are great ear training because they are ALWAYS in key. Even babies can learn to blow in and out to make sound using a harmonica. They are 100% a must have! "

"These are 100% the most durable and safest baby macacas on the market. I also recommend them because they are unintentionally the best drumsticks for a toddler as well. I am not a fan of wooden drum sticks. They make me nervous with young kids. These maracas are much safer for our little drummers, so buy a couple sets of these no matter what just so you have safe drum sticks for your kids (which you can also use to knock woodblocks too) "

"Love that this comes with a single piece safe mallet. "

"These only come in sets of 4, but they are the ONLY tambourine I ever use. The metal pieces that jingle are safely enclosed IN the tambourine shell. "

"Impossible to fit in a mouth, but small enough that 9 months old can palm them and shake them. "

"A perfect introduction to pitch for your baby "

"Six strings are too many for a toddler to navigate, which makes these 3 string Loogs much more reasonable for a 3-5 year old child to start playing and developing some finger dexterity. (Note - I always recommend drums, piano, and singing/dancing first for children until they are clearly able to focus and practice guitar somewhat properly. Guitar is a REALLY hard instrument for young children to start on.) "

"Ukuleles are supposed to be small, which is why even a $40 ukulele sounds ok. Do not buy a cheap small “guitar.” They never sound good. This $40 ukulele uses soft nylon strings and will actually hold tune and sound good if someone who knows how to play wants to play it. "

"Nothing like “real analog music” rather than digital sounds. This little piano is the real deal, just smaller 🙂 "

"Impossible to fit in a mouth, but small enough that 9 months old can palm them and shake them. "

"Any kazoo you get will be fine. They are an amazing way to get babies and toddles singing, because you have to sing in order to make sound with a kazoo. "

"These are the drums we use in class. This three piece set of 10, 8 and 6 inch drums is very compact and easy to store. They come with my favorite kids mallets as well, which are the safest I’ve found for our little drummers. "

"Impossible to fit in a mouth, but has a great handle for the tiniest of hands. "

"Any drum from the options available at this link will be an AMAZING addition to your home music set. Can be played with hands or with the mallets they provide (which are among the better mallets that come with instruments. Super fun instrument for the adults to play too! "

"Perfect for little baby fingers to wrap around the handle. The cage makes it impossible for the kids to put the small bell inside in their mouth. "
