My Review: I have not seen a musical instrument like this before.  Its different, but really fun.  The sounds that come from this are very unique.  So what you have is basically a wooden box that is probably hollow.  Then they cut open spaces on the top at different lengths and intervals.  So when you use the mallet that comes with this musical instrument, you hit each piece of wood on top and a different tone comes from that piece of wood.  Its really cool.  Each musical instrument from this company have the following symbol stamped or burned into it, which I like because people ask about it all the time.  I am a home school mom of younger children.  I find these Eco Friendly, GREEN musical instruments way better than any thing I've seen or had my eye on in a catalog.  The sounds each piece of wood makes is beautiful to listen to.  The mallets are safe and easy to use by children.  The catalog for this company has so many amazing products, I want teachers, home schooler families, home school groups, preschoolers, child care givers, Day cares, Nannies to really look into this company because these products are truly AMAZING!  My children love playing with these for school time, play time, and when they're bored.  I have family who teach in the Primary at their church who really love these products too, and can't wait to buy some for their Sunday classes.

Product: Tone Drum: can be found on amazon, via the link provided.  This is made from rubberwood which is 100% Eco Friendly, and renewable.  Perfect for children 3 and up.  The rubber topped mallet that comes with this drum is made with an easy to hold handle which is thicker, then the wooden topped mallets for other musical instruments.  Helps provide a well rounded rhythm foundation that will also help stimulate creativity.  

 Pros: eco friendly, desirable sounds, fun to use, easy to use, safe for children, safe for adults, great products, good pricing, excellent customer service from company employees!

Cons: I now have been asked by my children to replace all our non-wooden Green Tone Hohner musical instruments so that they have a good selection from this company.  But let's be honest that's not really a negative thing at all.

CONTEST: Do you want a chance to win a Bear Drum and Melody Glokenspiel?  Here's your chance!  Email us at momsthumbreviews@gmail.com why you want this prize, and what age group of children you get the opportunity to help influence musically and winner will be chosen on Monday 28th!

My Review:  Have you ever bought a toy or musical instrument for your child and had to toss it because it sounded horrible?  I have, and I've done it a lot, because my kids love making noise, love having fun, love playing and singing along with, and hearing music.  They don't have wooded musical instruments, and those toys drive me (their mother and home school teacher) up the wall.  So, when I found this company, I instantly fell in love with these products, and am so excited to use them with my own kids during our home schooling music class.  I am also super excited to use them with my preschoolers that I co-teach weekly.  This Melody Glockenspiel is 1. ECO FRIENDLY, 2. fun for kids, 3. beautiful to listen to. 

 My children are 7 and 4.  They love music, they love animals.  They would rather have a stuffed animal than other types of toys, because they love their animals so much.  So to get animal shaped/ themed musical instruments my older kids are STOKED!  I now have music class in school, because before I really only had cds for them to listen to and dance to, but they want to play instruments.  I made plastic Easter egg shakers, but they don't work very good, and break easily.  My kids would love to have as many of these wonderful wooden musical instruments as they can get.  The sounds that comes from this drum are beautiful, natural, and magical.  I enjoy listening to this sound, which is great because there are so many toys, especially music making ones or noise ones that don't sound good to listen too.  So I'm highly recommending this product, and all products from this company.

Product: The Melody Glokenspiel: can be found on amazon via the link provided.  This toy is great for children 3 and up.  Made with mangowood, which is 100% Eco Friendly and renewable.  Comes with 2 wooden topped mallets, to perfect the beautiful sound these metal keys bring against the wood.  This is a one octave glokenspiel, in C major.  There is a specially designed resonator chamber that enhances the tones from this instrument.  The wooden base is curved, of 15-ply natural wood, to fit comfortably in a lap or stable playing surface on tables, floors, or desks.

My Review:  I fell in love with these products, and am so excited to use them with my own kids during our home schooling.  I am also super excited to use them with my preschoolers that I co-teach weekly.  This Mama Bear Drum is 1. super duper cute, 2.

Product: The Mama Bear Drum: can be found on amazon, via the link provided.  What a wonderful idea for musical instruments.  The wood is rubberwood which is 100% Eco Friendly and renewable.  Solid and durable 6" natural skin head produces real drum sound.  On Mama bear's head is a hanging loop for on-the-go fun, or for band time like marching band.  This would be perfect for all those cute children parades in the summer time!  The mallet that comes with this is a wooden topped mallet. Perfect for children ages 24 and up.
