Love this set! Brought these for my 9 month old. Right now they like shaking them and holding the wooden sticks. Will be able to play more effectively with practice when older. It’s great there are three separate instruments so friends can play along together. It’s also nice the wooden mallets are attached to each instrument via a cord so you don’t lose them. Great for on the go- small enough to carry around. Also love the natural baby customer service! Everything we have purchased from here is high quality, ships fast, and I really appreciate the personal messaging from the owner! Great experience overall! Thanks
