Children and music seem to be inseparable. Band sets let toddlers explore shaking, pounding, clapping, and squeezing while making lots of new noises. The Bee Bop Band comes with 5 different instruments: a drum and 2 drumsticks; a lady bug xylophone; a bumble bee maraca; a worm tambourine; and an ant bell shaker. Strengths: All of the instruments fit into the drum and the lid is a fairly tight fit so a toddler could have some difficulty getting in to it (which means no unwanted concerts when you a trying to grab just a couple of seconds of sleep!). Weaknesses: Although instruments can be a great deal of fun, a couple of those in the Bee Bop Band Set (the ant bell shaker and the worm tambourine) are very loud and can startle some children if they are sensitive to unexpected, loud noises.A common remark made by many parents is, “I spent all this money on a great new toy for my child, and she’s more interested in playing with the box than the toy!” This blog offers descriptions and opinions about toys, books, & other resources for both children considered to be typically developing as well as those with special needs. I have tried, when possible, to provide suggestions on how to modify toys to make them fun for children at all developmental levels.
