Bigjigs Musical Review – Mission Three!

September 22, 2014
Agents Double Team are back for their third mission and they’re both raring to go!

This mission sees us make a lot of noise and have lots of musical fun! We were sent two Snazzy Maracas, one Snazzy Bell Stick and one Snazzy Xylophone from Bigjigs.
Mission Three was simply to play with the toys and then report back with our feedback. 
It’s fair to say that both Agents R and M follow their daddy with their love for music. Daddy is always playing music and dancing along to it. He knows all the top chart songs and downloads them all!
First up we decided to play with the Snazzy Maracas. We were sent the pink ones, but they’re also available in blue. They’re brightly coloured and are perfectly sized for youngsters to rattle and shake!
They’re ideal as an early introduction to sound and rhythm, plus they’re a great way to encourage creativity. 
We go to a weekly music group and they always bring out some musical instruments. R and M always go for the maracas or ‘shakers’ as they call them!
They love shaking them up high above their heads, down low on the floor and out to the side like an aeroplanes wings!
Agents R and M’s favourite game of all though is to shake their maracas really loud and fast! Then they’ll place one finger on their lips and say shhh before proceeding to gently shake their maracas as quietly as they can!
These maracas are great to help develop dexterity and co-ordination. They’re suitable from 12 months onward and we think they would make great stocking fillers!

Next up is the Snazzy Bell Stick. Personally this is one of my favourites! The sound reminds me of Christmas as a child when my parents would shake bells when I was in bed on Christmas Eve! It got me so excited thinking that Santa had arrived!

These bell sticks are brightly coloured and available in three designs. They have a wooden handle, which again is the perfect size for little hands to grip and shake.

The bell sticks are suitable from 18 months onward and again would make a great stocking filler.

If your child loves music I would highly recommend investing in a Snazzy Xylophone. Like all Bigjigs products it’s very well made, brightly coloured and will be a toy that can be used for many years.

It’s a highly educational way for creative toddlers to play music by ear. The wooden mallets are just the right size for babies and toddlers to grip, plus the colourful bars help little ones to remember each note and which bar to strike in order to re-create it.

We enjoyed playing with the xylophone in many different ways, but Agents R and M especially enjoyed it when I asked them to strike certain colours with the mallets. It turned out to be a fun to learn about different colours, plus it helps to develop dexterity and co-ordination.

This toy is suitable from age two upward.

If your little one has a love for music, why not check out the rest of the musical range the Bigjigs has on offer.

For the purpose of this review we were sent the above items.

    Love how happy your little ones look making music with these. We love musical instruments in our house too and these ones look great 🙂
