Skip Hop Explore & More 3-Piece Musical Instrument Set

It looks cute.
But..
Does not easy to make sound for infant.
There are lot more better choices with this money

Beautiful, high quality toys. I took these out and gave one to my 9 month old - he was instantly able to hold the bee and shake for a sound. Since it's light, and of course immediately put it in his mouth. The bee clacker is our favorite. We love playing them around the mat and watching him crawl to each one. They are the perfect size for tiny hands. Thankfully, this isn't terribly noisy, relatively soft sounds that keeps my son engaged. Perfect little noisemakers for an infant to enjoy.

They're quite cute, but fall short as musical instruments. The bee shaker drum is the best piece, but it's a steep price for one out of three to truly work. I can use the bee shaker with a flick of my wrist, but my 9 month old tries to copy me but shakes it and is unable to get it to clack. The bells in the tambourine are very faint, but he bangs the plastic parts together and that works just fine!

Not what I expected. great quality, very nice, my baby likes them.

My husband will play the piano for the new babies, and now they can play along. these were the perfect addition to our growing collection of baby gear.

I gave this product 3 stars for creativity, style and durability. I bought it when my son was about 10 months old and he never really played with it. His favorite was the bee but given that it's too hard for an infant to use as a rattle he used it as a teether. Overall, I find that this set isn't practice. The tambourine is too small and doesn't make an audible sound and the bells on the fox get stuck and are barely heard when you shake it. It just looks cute - that's about it. The rattle works for older kids. My son can now use it at 2 and a half years old.

I have been trying to introduce my baby to musical instruments and I thought this was perfect. My 10 month old LOVES all of the musical instruments, buuut he does not use it as intended. He just uses it to bang on everything and he LOVES doing that. He really is THOR. I would say the products are really durable because he's been using the bee clacker and the fox tambourine to hit everything he sees and it holds up really well! They are also the right size for his tiny hands. One thing I am concerned about is that when I opened the package, one of the little plastic leaves in the bee shaker drum had been loose and fell out of the package. I examined the drum and tried shaking it really hard to see if something was broken or loose, but nothing else has fallen out. It's been over 2 weeks and there are no problems with it. I continue to monitor him closely when playing with the drum, but other than that there are no other concerns. :)
