Music is an essential part of child development, so no matter how annoying the same four songs in a row might become, filling your toy box with musical toys can have a positive impact on your kid.
Even if your kid isn’t Baby Beethoven quite yet, toys with musical elements inspire creativity and can help tune fine motor skills. Plus, it’s fun to watch your kids dance to music they create or just love to hear!
Whether your little one wants to make the music themselves or sit back, relax, and listen to some tunes emit from their favorite toy, here are 20 options that will satisfy their ears.
