Musical Toy Instruments For Kids and You
Welcome to a carefully crafted list of musical (toy) instruments for our up-and-coming kid prodigies and our musically established kidheads who like the sound of cheap plastic instruments.
It’s good to start young. Musical involvement has been a proven to be a supporting factor for growth of intelligence in a child. Even a cheap and funny musical toy instrument for kids can leave an early positive imprint in a child’s life. I still recall swinging a sound tube in kindergarden or spending hours pressing keys and buttons on my casio keyboard. Here I am 25 years later earning a living through music. Tadaa!
Even for grown music producers and musicians toy instruments for kids can be a valuable source for unique sounds. Seeing these goods always spark my creativity and activate the childlike curiosity and willingness to experiment.
I’ve used a rating system (not to be taken too seriously) to evaluate each toy instrument in: Difficulty (how difficult it is for a kid to learn the instrument); Annoy Meter (how annoying the instrument is for the parents.); Uniqueness (How likely it is that the instrument is already part of the common household); and Smashability (Well, that speaks for itself hopefully). I hope you find something worth while.
