Holiday Gifts from Land of Nod

The Gift of Music From The Land of Nod

Growing up, music wasn’t really a prominent part of my childhood, which is shame because not only is it uplifting to listen to, but making music is a wonderful skill to have. With the help of The Land of Nod, we were able to introduce our children to the sweet sounds of six instruments from the Band in a Box kit.

Inside a quality constructed wooden crate, there are simple metal and wooden instruments that allowed the kids to experiment with making their own music. There are no batteries, no computer enhanced voices, just the sweet sound of child powered musical fun. Each instrument is small and easy to grasp for even our toddler’s little hands. Together, our 2 year old and 8 year old children had a blast trying and trading each instrument to see what sounds they made. My toddler particularly loved the maracas to shake and shimmy to her own little beat.

Each Band in a Box kit comes with:

• Tambourine
• Triangle
• Wooden Sticks
• Cymbals
• Clapper
• Maracas
• Wooden Storage Crate

Priced at just $29.00 plus shipping, this is my idea of the perfect gift for any child over 2 (with adult supervision) all the way up to young teens.
