Miniature Music Boxes Reviews

4.7 Rating 111 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.

Great poduct for the money. These make perfect gifts for residents in nursing homes. They provide a pleasant, soothing, non-disturbing, old fashioned experience and put a smile on the face of anyone who catches a hint of the tune as they pass by. They are equally as enjoyable for young children, for a taste of simple joy.

This is for my Grandson. It is a memento of a song that is special to the two of us. Great for little hands.

My granddaughter is 3 1/2 and it is easy for her to turn the handle by herself.

These are every bit as neat as they appear. We have "you are my sunshine" and "twinkle, twinkle." The "twinkle, twinkle" is a slightly more ornamented version than the usual, as another reviewer commented, and which I also find vaguely annoying. The main reason for only four stars though is that sometimes the mechanism disengages and it won't work at all until a little knocking gets it going again. Although this has happened with each, it is not a frequent or persistent problem--after a week of having them around at least.

I gave two of these to my boys in their stockings this year for Christmas. I was very happy with the quality and very simple to crank for a 2 and 5 year old.

We were very happy with these tiny music boxes. Our grandchildren (ages 4, 5 & 6) were fascinated by the workings of the cylinder and found the hand crank easy to use. The small size makes them a perfect fit for tiny hands and the kids really have enjoyed them.

My grandparents got my sister and me these boxes when we were little girls, and we loved them. Recently I showed mine to my teenage friend, and she adored the sweet melody and was completely fascinated by the inner workings of it. I'm getting her one for her eighteenth birthday.
