Music is great fun from an early age and children can explore musical instruments and the sounds they make with our beautiful range of toddler Musical Toys. With bright bold colours that will appeal to the very young, wooden hand bells, maracas and tambourines are great for toddlers to shake and make plenty of sound with.
For a special birthday or Christmas gift, take a look at the beautiful Djeco Wooden Piano or for children who enjoy making their own music, you can't go wrong with a guitar, banjo or tambourine.
Musical Toys are not just for fun; they are educational tools that support early childhood development in a multitude of ways. From simple rattles that produce gentle sounds to more complex instruments like xylophones and keyboards, Musical Toys engage children’s senses and stimulate cognitive, motor, and emotional growth.
Engaging with musical toys helps toddlers develop essential cognitive skills. They learn about cause and effect when they press a button or strike a key and hear a sound. This interaction also aids in memory development and pattern recognition, fundamental building blocks for later learning. Musical toys promote language development as well, as children mimic sounds and rhythms, enhancing their auditory discrimination and verbal skills.
Motor skills are refined through the use of musical toys. Fine motor skills are developed when children grasp and manipulate small instruments, while gross motor skills are enhanced through dancing and rhythmic movement. These activities improve hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and overall physical fitness.
Emotionally, musical toys offer a soothing and expressive outlet for toddlers. Music can comfort and calm, helping children regulate their emotions. Social skills are nurtured when children play musical toys together, learning cooperation, turn-taking, and listening.
