By stacking up or rearranging each musical block, kids will learn about shapes and space. Stacking also improves dexterity, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and develop tot's natural abilities. This musical toy set can be easily carried around to accompany your child on all his or her ventures, thanks to the handle and stick storage design.

EXPERT OPINION
With emerging language skills, walking, and the ability to stay on task for longer periods of time, 18-24 months old toddlers are physically much more engaged with music than infants. Now, the pitch of their vocalizations start to reflect the songs they are singing. Their vocalizations will change from being monotone in to including high and low notes. Rhythmically, they will often dance and play instruments with a strong sense of beat, but that beat will usually be unrelated to the music they are listening to. Later on, toddlers will begin to create music with some accuracy without live or recorded musical support. Children exhibiting this behavior are beginning to audiate. Audiation is the ability to hear and understand music when the sound isn’t physically present. Audiation is to music what thinking is to language.
