Bring a little music to playtime. Our musical toys collection has first toy instruments, drums, xylophones and music toys for toddlers, all chosen from independent brands we love. Time to make some noise.

There's real joy, and plenty of learning, in a child making their first sounds on an instrument. Our musical toys collection features xylophones, ukuleles, musical jewelry boxes, and more from Tender Leaf Toys, Manhattan Toy, HABA, and Floss & Rock, designed to encourage rhythm, coordination, and imaginative play.

When you're choosing, follow your child's age and stage, with simple rattles and shakers for babies, then xylophones, drums, and beginner instruments as coordination develops. Well-made wooden instruments can offer a more satisfying sound and feel than novelty toys, while also standing up well to enthusiastic play. Look for sturdy designs that are easy for little hands to hold and use. To keep the play going, pair musical toys with pieces from baby toys & play for little ones, or explore the wider toys & play collection.
