Musical Fantasy
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Vivid colors, intriguing motion and beautiful music combine to make this toy a favorite!
Beautiful and inviting musical toy that encourages children to touch it. Once the base has been wound, the balls and springs rotate and the music plays. Even a gentle or random hand motion will cause the balls to wave and clack together. An old-fashioned musical mechanism inside plays a gentle classic children's melody. Base is 6" in diameter. (Color of the base may vary.)

Play Tip!
The Musical Fantasy is perfect for an exciting game of peek-a-boo with a cognitively young child. Develop the concept of "object permanance" (the knowledge that when an object is out of sight, it still exists.) Wind up the Musical Fantasy and place it within easy reach for the child. Drape a light fabric over it and say "Where is the toy?" When they uncover and find the toy, say "peek-a-boo!" The music and motion make excellent auditory and visual cues for the cognitively young child.

PLAY Tip
Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.
