Description
When I opened these in the office, people couldn't keep their hands off them! It may have been the happy honks coming from my desk that drew them in to investigate. This set of 8 squeezable, ridged balls correspond to musical notes. Squeeze the red one to hear a C (there are 2 Cs in the set.) The orange ball plays a D note! Green is the G note! Each ball is about 2.5" wide, just right for little hands (or not so little.) What a fun group activity for students! The sound is bit of a honk/squawk, but the notes are certainly recognizable in a song. Included are 3 song cards (6 songs) that are color-coded to the balls. You get This Old Man, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Happy Birthday, Old MacDonald, London Bridge, and Jingle Bells. I liked how the balls show you the note, as do the song cards. For ages 3+. ~Sara
