Make Music with PlanToys! Melody Xylophone Review

xylophone for kids

There isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t have music playing in our home. Music and laughter provide a great soundtrack to my family’s day to day life. My daughter loves to play music {to the best of her ability, that is} and we love to listen! So Luv was delighted when PlanToys sent her their Melody Xylophone for her to check out![*]

A xylophone for kids!

The Melody Xylophone has eight brightly colored bars for little ones to play musical notes that are actually true to scale! There is a nifty holder under the xylophone’s base that holds its mallet perfectly. It also comes with sheet music {totaling six songs} to follow along using both a color coded and a lettered scale.

I asked Luv to share her thoughts:

I like to play Mary Had a Little Lamb. Daddy’s favorite song is this one {pointing to Au Clair De La Lune}. I like the loudness of it. The songs are nice, too.

It is fun to hear familiar songs like Ode to Joy and Frère Jacques! I will say, I wish the music sheets excluded holiday songs as we don’t celebrate Christmas. That and Jingle Bells in springtime doesn’t jive. *chuckle* Perhaps offering holiday sheet music as a separate purchase would be appreciated and appeal to even more families!

Sustainable Play.

PlanToys has plenty of fun toys, that’s for sure. Another reason to love them is for their eco-friendly approach to toy making.

  • Using recycled wood from preservative free, naturally processed rubberwood trees.
  • Using the remaining PlanToys sawdust to make their PlanWood for other toys.
  • PlanToys uses non-formaldehyde glue and non-toxic, safety-certified water-based dyes as well.
