Your child can become a little musician with the Listen, Clap & Sing musical cube! This is the best tool to develop babies’ early sense of music and rhythm. The cube can be set in three different modes: listen, clap and sing.
When children toss the cube in “listen” mode, the cube plays melodies in different instruments based on the side facing up. In the “clap” mode, three melodies with different beats are played, encouraging your child to clap along. In the “sing” mode, six funny songs are sung by different animals and people, encouraging your child to sing along!
