Battat Animal Jamboree Toy Drum and 4 Musical Instruments, Toddler and Preschool Toys

At the last minute, my daughter let us know she wanted musical instruments for Christmas and would tell every mall/event Santa we saw. We snagged this as a last minute gift and it has surprisingly been the gift of the year. We still use this daily almost 2 months after the fact. The sounds are pretty but not loud. Everything stores in the drum which is a huge plus.

We have purchased the “b.” Brand drum set from battat toys (Target line) MANY times over the last decade (we've had one too many “last baby” episodes…..). I went to purchase again and discovered they didn't sell it anymore (less I spend 4x its worth via eBay). I saw Walmart had a newer/different version exclusive to them (I think?) so figured I'd give it a chance. It is SO darling. I prefer, it actually! The drumsticks are like.. rubberized? In a way? So if you get whacked or pegged by an incoming stick, you be aight. Plus, the drum itself plus drumsticks/instruments are smaller so tiny tots like my 16m/o can tote the drum doodads around like the little drummer boy. Perhaps would exchange a couple of the little… clappy? Musical instruments? For something that makes more sense for this age group lol.. maybe a mini xylophone? Because heavens knows none of us can figure them out. Anyways! Def cute! Def recommend!
