Tambourines - A Simple Musical Toy for Your Toddlers

Tambourines - a simple music maker.  Remember the Partridge Family?  Tracy's instrument was the tambourine as she could not play anything else.  She stood up with her family band keeping rhythm by banging the tambourine with her hand or on her leg.  It is also a great musical toy for toddlers.

PlanToys makes a perfect wooden tambourine toy for toddlers ages 2 years and older.  The shallow and handheld tambourine is made of a circular wooden frame with half openwork stretched across the top.  It helps develop coordination, auditory, fine motor and musical skills.

So what can you do with it?

Play based on rhythm and melodies.  Every motion, every manner of play, has its own music.

Enhancing a child's play with music to enriches the educational experience and improves listening skills and creates a new level of interaction with the surrounding world.

The tambourine can be held in the hand and can be played in numerous ways, from stroking or shaking the jingles to striking it sharply with hand or using the tambourine to strike the leg or hip.
