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.

This was my grand daughter's favorite when she was 2 years old; now 3 years, and still her favorite. Small hands can turn the crank easily and are fascinated by the movement which creates the sound. A great learning tool.The music produced is sweet and enchanting.She recognizes similar music sounds when heard and relates to her music box.

My 2 year old loves this music box. It reminds me of one I had at a young age.

We bought four of the boxes with different tunes. My five year old and two year old daughters really love playing with them. I like that their fine motor skills are being put to work when turning the crank of the box to play to music. We will definately be buying some more as birthday gifts to others!

Love these or at least the concept of these music boxes. I ordered 3 one for each child, Twinkle Twinkle, Greensleeves and Itsy Bitsy Spider. My children are pretty gentle (Two girls and a boy). One accidental drop and these were in pieces. With in 3 months of the kids having them they were all broken. Makes me sad....

This music box is one of those things that are irresistible! If a child sees it, she will pick it up and turn the knob. I bought it for my 3 yr old daughter to help develop her pincer grip. And it has helped! She has to turn knob in the correct direction and at a slow steady pace, which requires intense concentration and solid control. But if she does it right, she is rewarded with music. The clear display is an intriguing display for my child. My 6 year old likes it just as much. I thought she may soon tire of the novelty, but both children find it irresistible and still play with it several times a day.
