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.

We've had this little box for years that plays Happy Birthday and use it still as a tradition even though my children are teens. I recently purchased the Twinkle Twinkle box for library story times b/c the melody is also the ABC song. It is sturdy and fascinating for children to be able to see the music box mechanism through the clear case.

These are adorable and so much fun for any age 3 to 93. The sound quality of the music boxes is very nice and the songs are very recognizable. Great as a stocking stuffer or add-on gift. Please note that the ones I received did not have the wooden ball, but rather a small cylindrical brass colored handle, which may be a bit more difficult for tiny fingers to operate.

It plays a beautiful tune (I bought "You Are My Sunshine"), but I thought it'd be easier for a young child to use. I have to play it for her. I do enjoy being able to see the mechanism inside.

My kids (ages 4 & 7) really like these music boxes - "Santa" brought them each one. They are easy for the kids to use, and they enjoy being able to control/make their own music and sing along.

I cd not fill in the review part - will do it here. I fell in love with this music box, perfect little gift for neighborhood playmates. It is a bit difficult for under 5 yr. olds to operate. Works very well.
