MEGA Bloks Musical Farm Band Review

Editor's Review
Your preschooler will be with the band when they play with the Musical Farm Band. This construction set is a fun sensory way for kids to make music and build. The 40 pieces in this set include the traditional large and chunky MEGA Bloks, but there are also musical instrument pieces: a drum, a xylophone, a cymbal, and a shaker. Plus some of the pieces have animal faces on them, so kids can build a xylophone giraffe or a cymbal pig. For more tactile play, the set also includes a cat block with clicking ears, a squeaky rabbit, and a chicken egg that opens and closes when kids press down on it. Music sheets are also included so that kids can play six songs, such as “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”, on the xylophone. Adult assistance may be needed to build the musical instrument animals.

Should I get it?
The musical instrument animals are super cute, and little ones will like exploring the different sounds that each animal makes. The mallet for the xylophone, cymbal, and drum is kind of weird and looks like a claw for some reason. If you hit it with a curved side down on the cymbal and xylophone, you’ll get a good sound, but of course, a 1-year-old might not have great mallet-wielding technique. Other than that, this set will inspire all kinds of play: imaginative building play, music play, and sensory play.
Pros
Comes with 40 pieces
Traditional building with musical instruments
Sensory play
Cons
Weird shape of the mallet
