The Hape Melody House combines a colorful ball track with an integrated wooden and metal xylophone. Toddlers can send the colorful balls racing down the red ramps until they produce musical tones at the end. The included wooden hammer and mallet can also be used to play the colored chime bars directly. This robust wooden toy playfully promotes hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and an early sense of rhythm and music. Thanks to its compact design, the play center can be effortlessly placed in the nursery and transported flexibly.
