[wrafiehi]

My DD is turning one ina couple of weeks. I would like to get her some good quality musical instruments like maraca, drum, tambourine, egg shaker and xylophone. Does anybody have any recomendations for where I can find some fo these?
Thank you

www.expressivetoys.com has lots of fun and interesting instruments. Jen, the owner, is also really nice. :)

The new toy aisle at Target has nice ones made my rhythmix. The music class that my DD goes to mostly uses these types of instruments.

we have a few from Target - egg shaker, rhythm sticks, triangle - they all seem to be very similar to the ones I have used in a music class.

I purchased some for my 2 y/o grandson at

www.musicforlittlepeople.com

They also have a great selection of CD's.

I've thought about getting this for our DS:

I've seen in it an local toy store for cheaper, but the sound is really cool.

I just bought a bunch of instruments from www.westmusic.com and am thrilled with the quality of the instruments and the service from the company. I think the instruments are much cooler than the stuff at Target (just my opinion!).

Which ones did you buy and how old is your DC?

I'm thinking of getting my DD the "babies make music" instrument and dvd set for her 1st birthday from westmusic.

I second the recommendation for Expressivetoys. Jen is so great to work with and she's a Music Together instructor/director so if you have any questions she can guide you to some good choices for your DD's age group.

Good luck!

Best,
