Inspire a love of music from a young age with this colorful outdoor Glockenspiel. It will make an excellent addition to any playground and provides a creative aspect to playtime rather than just physical equipment. The Glockenspiel encourages children of all ages to explore sounds, notes, tones, pitch, melody and rhythm by experiencing it hands on. The multi-sensory experience it provides can be enjoyed by one child using both mallets or by learning how to cooperate with friends and produce music together in harmony. Fine motor skills will be tuned perfectly with this outdoor musical instrument as to hit the right notes in succession requires careful hand-eye coordination between different metal bars. It can be left outside in all weathers thanks to the powder coating and plastic which protects it from moisture and rust. The mallets are attached firmly to the product so they cannot be removed, but still have enough length and flexibility to hit all of the notes easily.
