Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Plan Toy Oval Xylophone is colorful and is an enjoyable way to stimulate children's natural sense of harmony and rhythm. This solid wood xylophone plays melodic, pleasant notes. Children will experiment with rhythm and note combinations to create their own songs. A wonderful introduction to music from any preschooler

Product Description

This xylophone helps develop hand-eye coordination and reinforces children's natural sense of harmony and rhythm. This xylophone helps develop hand-eye coordination and reinforces children's natural sense of harmony and rhythm.

Playtime Ideas:

  • Using the mallet to hit the bars will help develop fine motor skills and stimulate eye-hand coordination.
  • Each bar produces a different sound. Telling children to hit the bars by switching the colors, will help stimulate hearing and listening ability, develop recognition skills and teach about colors at the same time.
  • Hitting the bars with the mallet has a positive effect on children; it generates interest, develops concentration and also helps to release tension.

2.0 out of 5 stars Please find another xylophone!, November 29, 2003
By A Customer
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Plan Toy Oval Xylophone (Toy)
This xylophone is adorable but that's about all it has going for it. I received it in the mail today and decided to send it back within 2 minutes. The tones (and that is being generous) are just terrible. I couldn't play any recognizable tune with them at all. If you're child is into banging, try a drum or another xylophone. The Tap a Tune Xylophone by Little Tykes gets fairly good reviews and is less expensive. I wanted this one for my son because it has the look of a classic toy but that really doesn't matter if doesn't have proper tones.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plunk, plunk...plunk, plunk...OY!, December 12, 2003
By A Customer
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Plan Toy Oval Xylophone (Toy)
I love the look of this xylophone--the colors are vibrant; the shape is cute. But the sound quality of the keys is horrible. First of all, the keys are wooden not metal like most xylophones--which is okay, but the product doesn't mention this and the picture is a little misleading. The red key and the orange key sound the same,and the other three make hollow, plunky sounds. Instead, I recommend the Grover 8 Note Children's Xylophone (www.giardinelli.com) if you like metal keys and the 8 Note Wooden Children's Xylophone (www.grothmusic.com) if you prefer wooden keys. Both are beautiful and cost the same, if not a few dollars less...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun toy, November 29, 2007
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Plan Toy Oval Xylophone (Toy)
This toy is a safe, less annoying alternative to the plastic and metal< made in china, ones found in big-box marts.

I like the wooden "keys" and the softer tones they have...as for not being "tuned" as another reviewer was upset about, I don't know any baby/toddler who will do anything but bang on it anyway...at least this doesn't give me a headache. Plus if my 13 mo old chews on it I don't have to worry about lead paint!

1.0 out of 5 stars As good as a block of wood
There is very little difference in tone between the various bars on this toy. Certainly not enough to play a recognizable tune. Save your money on this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy the Drum Instead
So I read the reviews about the bad sound quality and then bought the Plan Toy Solid Wood Drum instead. The drum sounds great with several different wonderful tones. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Attractive, not musical
My purpose in buying a child's xylophone was to teach basic concepts of scale. This one is not tuned to any scale and has minimal musical quality. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Cute but not musical AT ALL!
This toy is adorable. It is well made and very colorful. However, it makes NO noise. It just sounds like wood being hit on wood. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for banging
The xylophone is cute and my one-year-old loves banging on it with the mallet. But it isn't much of an instrument, even a simple one--the tones don't make any sort of scale,... Read more
