Will last for years to come!

3-17-2010 - by Jessica from Delaware, OH

This is a great set! My daughter received this as a birthday gift from her great-grandmother! Very well made and can and will be kept for years to come and passed down many years from now. Not something that will be played with once or twice and forgotten about. I plan on buying this set for my nephews 2nd birthday along with a couple other Melissa and Doug products.

Good Quality Fun

These instruments are durable and of good quality. I don't worry about my kids banging on them as hard as they want. They make beautiful music. The kids have so much fun playing with them. They are real instruments, not plastic imitations that don't sound quite right. This was a purchase I don't regret.

Great for all ages

My 2-year-old son received this set for his birthday and he loves it! Easily one of his favorite toys now. We've even added a few more musical additions to the box and we enjoy being a band as a family with everyone playing their own instrument. My only gripe is that my son decided to play the triangle with a maraca one day and after a few hits, the maraca split right down the center. I took it away for fear that the contents would spill out. Also, its not for children who like to throw things because the pieces are pretty solid. Overall, I'd recommend it for hours of play at a good price.

Multiple Intelligences

Our toy experts have indicated that the Band in a Box strengthens the following Intelligences:

Musical

Children with strong Musical intelligence have great sensitivity to the rhythm of sounds (e.g. pitch, timbre, composition). Students strong in this intelligence will enjoy listening to music and may ultimately work as singers, songwriters, composers, or even music teachers.

Bodily-Kinesthetic

Children with strong Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence gravitate towards athletics; however, they also may use their bodies to solve problems, or convey ideas and emotions. Students with BK intelligence will be good at physical activities, have good hand-eye coordination and may have a tendency to move around a lot while expressing themselves.
