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.

I love this little music box. I have purchased 4 now, and will, I am sure, buy more. This is a favorite. Even my grown daughter asked for one for Christmas this year.

I combined the music box with a book. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star was my choice. It is made well and the baby can play the song with the music box themselves. It is clear and you can watch the pins pluck the chords. It is sweet!

Bought these Music boxes several years ago and in my class really enjoyed them. That is why I am buying them again and expect them to last several more years. They are fun and very appropriate in a Montessori environment.

Bought 2 as stocking stuffers for my boys (4 & 2 ) and they love using the hand crank to make the music play! Since the case of the music box is clear they also enjoy watching the drum go around as the metal needles play. They have had a lot of fun with these and I enjoy hearing the music too!

I had been searching for a simple music box where you are able to see the mechanism inside for a long time before I noticed them on your website. I remember my cousin had one when we were little, and I would play music on it and watch the gears turn. I bought two for my children this Christmas, and they were just what I wanted, and for such a reasonable price, too! My children seem to enjoy them so far. I know that I do! I plan on buying more of them for us, and for gifts as well.

Almost too small for little hands but the best news is that, when they lose interest or get tired of turning the handle the music stops.
