Miniature Music Boxes Reviews

Read For Small Hands Reviews

See inside and watch music in the making—music boxes are a fascination at any age. Holding the knob and turning the crank helps children develop the pincer grip, and refines small motor movement.The clear acrylic case covers all the moving parts of the instrument, except the handle. We've seen many variations on this design, and this is our favorite. 3¼"" x 2"" 1¼"" high. Base colors may vary.Please note: These are not ""wind-up"" music boxes which are wound and then listened to. The music only plays when the handle of the music box is turned. The music tempo will vary with the speed of which the handle is cranked.We have seasonal tunes available here.

We bought this to start a new family tradition. We wrap it & pass it around the family depending on whose birthday is upcoming. We started it with my 3 year old son & he loved it. He spent a long time playing with it. Very durable! Only sad I didn't buy more than one.

We ordered two of these as stocking stuffers for my 8-year-old daughter and 6-year-old daughter. Both of our girls love them and play with them on a regular basis. Our oldest is working on learning the lyrics to Greensleeves just so she can sing along with hers. They are well-made and have a lovely tinkling sound. All of my kids enjoy being able to see inside and watching how it works. Overall, a great product. I plan on ordering the others that are offered and, maybe, even ordering extras for gifts.

These were used as stocking stuffers for my five and two year-old. Their faces lit up when they recognized the song. The crank is easy to use, and the music box has quickly become a favorite.

Very sweet music box that allows children to watch how the music is created.

I bought two of these - one for a 3 year old boy and another for a 4 year old girl...both friends of my daughter. I gave them as Christmas gifts and have seen them several times since and they have taken these with them everywhere! The music boxes fit perfectly in their hands. My only complaint - my daughter is left handed and the handle is on the wrong side and rotates the opposite way for her. Don't buy for a lefty but a fascinating gift for any right handed child!

I bought one of these for each of my boys-ages 2 and 3 and they are a big hit. The songs are classic and being able to see the musical mechanism never ceases to capture their attention.

Both my children, ages 3 and 5, received one of these music boxes in their stockings and almost a year later they still play it almost every day. The sound is wonderful, they love be able to see what goes on inside the music box, and they adore that they each have their own "special" song.
