A Toy Drum Worth Banging on About!
by Johanna Sorrentino
Toy drums are great fun, but did you also know that they help develop your child's spatial perception, limb muscles and auditory nerves? She may also pick up a healthy dose of rhythm. But, if the thought of listening to the clang of cheap plastic is holding you back from getting one for your child, fear not! Quality-made wooden toy drums are out there, if you know where to look.
One of our favorites is Plan Toys' Solid Drum. Best for children ages 19 months and up, this wooden drum resonates a rich tone, and the top of the drumstick is covered in rubber to soften the sound. One of the best parts is that this drum is environmentally-friendly and non-toxic. It is made with recycled rubber wood, and the colorful graphics on the drum are made from vegetable dye. The final coat is a non-toxic finish.
So, next time your child has a hankering to make music, you may want to put away the pots and pans, and check out this drum. It's kind on your ears, and your planet!
