Music accompanies us throughout our lives. It is an expression of emotions, a means of communication, and has even been shown to have a positive effect on the brain. Especially in the early years of life, children benefit enormously from musical education. They not only develop a better sense of hearing but also fine motor skills, a sense of structure, and the ability to move rhythmically.

Music makes you smart!

Musical education is an important pillar in early childhood development. Children who are regularly exposed to music have measurably better cognitive abilities. Music promotes memory, strengthens problem-solving skills, and improves concentration – skills that also play a significant role in other STEM areas.

Music strengthens language development

The recognition of tones and rhythms has a direct connection to language development. Studies show that children who are exposed to music early often develop a better sense of language and higher reading skills. This is because music and language have similar patterns – both consist of rhythm, intonation, and repetition.

Music promotes social competence

Making music means listening, empathizing, and responding to others. Through making music together, children learn important social skills such as teamwork, patience, and expressiveness. Especially in group games or during their first musical role plays – for example, with a children's xylophone or a drum – children practice listening to each other and supporting one another.

Our selection of STEM toys for musical development

In our shop, you will find a handpicked selection of high-quality wooden toys that specifically promote the musical development of children up to 8 years old. Each of our toys is sustainably produced, free from harmful substances, and safe for little hands. Here’s a glimpse into our most popular categories:

Xylophone & Glockenspiels – Colorful Music Making with First Melodies

Xylophones and glockenspiels are ideal first instruments for children. They help to discover initial melodies, train the ear, and playfully develop a sense of notes and pitches. Through the clear arrangement of the sound plates and the different color codings, children can intuitively make music – completely without any knowledge of musical notation.

Drums & Rhythm Instruments – Finding Your Own Beat

Rhythm is the foundation of all music. With child-friendly drums, sound sticks, or rattles, children learn to focus on beat and timing. These instruments not only promote musical ear but also strengthen fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Musical toys for the youngest – Discovering first sound experiences

Even babies and toddlers react fascinated to music. Specially developed sound games, wooden instruments, or music cubes awaken their curiosity and help them to collect playful first acoustic experiences. These toys are designed to grow with them and provide new musical stimuli over several years.

Instrument sets – Learning to make music together

Whether for siblings, friends, or the whole family – our musical instrument sets for children offer a great opportunity to make music together. From small bands to family jam sessions: making music together strengthens the sense of rhythm, improves social skills, and above all, brings a lot of fun.
