Early Years Instrument Set - 15 Instruments

This beautifully curated collection of 15 tactile musical instruments is specially designed for early learning environments, offering young children a rich introduction to sound, rhythm and sensory exploration. Made from natural, sustainable materials, the set produces a wide variety of tones and textures, creating engaging opportunities for music making, movement and discovery.

These are real musical instruments, thoughtfully scaled for small hands rather than simplified novelty items, allowing children to experience authentic sound and meaningful musical play from an early age. The different ways of shaking, tapping, scraping and striking the instruments help develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor control and gross motor skills, while the varied natural surfaces provide valuable tactile input for sensory learning.

The broad mix of instruments encourages children to explore independently and together through music, movement, turn-taking, storytelling and communication. It also supports sorting, matching, pack-away routines and collaborative play, making it a versatile resource for group time, music sessions and open-ended exploration. A warm, engaging and developmentally appropriate music set that supports creativity, confidence and joyful participation in early childhood settings.

*Please always remember that our musical instruments are NOT toys and should be used with young children under the close supervision of responsible educationalists and carers. By following these simple guidelines, you will ensure the children's learning, development and enjoyment playing music, as well as their safety.
