Description
This cheerful wooden xylophone with song book stars Charlie the Lion, whose bold orange and red mane frames the end of a sunny yellow base. Eight bars run along it in a rainbow of purple, pink, blue, pale blue, green, yellow, orange and red, each held in place with round studs, so every note has its own colour. Two wooden drumsticks with red tips come with it, each 13cm long, along with a little song book of five classic nursery rhymes, its cover showing Charlie sitting proudly. The xylophone is around 32cm long and 12.5cm across at its widest point, a neat size for small hands to play from end to end.
It is a toy made for play, and a lovely way to sit together and tap out a tune. Use the song book to play along with the rhymes, or simply let the drumsticks wander up and down the bars to hear the notes rise and fall. The slim, flat shape sits happily on a playroom floor or a low table, and it slips onto a bookshelf or into a toy box when the music stops. The bright colours and friendly lion face make it a cheerful sight in a child's bedroom too.
The xylophone and its song book are made from a mix of wood, metal, plastic and card, and it weighs just over 0.4KG, light enough to carry from room to room. As general good practice, wipe the base and bars with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away, and keep the song book dry. Keep the drumsticks with the xylophone so everything stays together. As a gift, the bright lion design and a handful of favourite rhymes make a warm, musical present, and we think it is one that will be played again and again.
