Little Birdsong Treasure Basket - 22 Instruments

An expertly curated collection of 22 inspiring, sustainably made musical instruments for the Early Years, together with song cards and CD. The instruments are all made from natural, tactile materials and with so many different types included, there's a very wide range of touch and sound possibilities. The number and variety also means that there's plenty of scope for both imaginative and loose parts play, on top of endless musical possibilities.

The different instruments will stimulate a wide range of physical movements, helping to develop both fine and gross motor control, and by playing together, children will learn social, musical and general communication skills.

Please note that these are all real musical instruments (just like professional ones but in most cases scaled-down to suit smaller players), not toys, and so the younger children will need close supervision. Do let the children explore and play independently as well as together with parents and/or practitioners but do always keep an eye on things. The collection is intended for 3 year olds upwards.

It is our experience that both children and grown-ups get so much more out of music-making by playing together. Music-making is a powerful learning experience for grown-ups as well as children and learning and exploring together multiplies the benefits for everyone.
