Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube


The cube contains six classic Mozart tunes that can be heard via 5 individual, or combination of, instruments including a concert mode which plays them all. Your child can manipulate the ensemble while the music is playing. My 18 month boy loves it and is always fiddling with the different types of musical play. Somehow (despite such a young age)he was able to intuitivly master the cube use rendering my first impression (that this toy is more appropraite for older children) wrong.

When the music is playing to his desire he spontaneously starts waving and clapping his hands. I have no proof but based on my observation I feel this toy enhances his appreciation of music as well as his ability to understand basic music composition.

My four year old loves it too so the biggest challenge is getting them to share it.


What is best about the cube is that it is designed for the toddlers. Like any child my son loves to throw the cube too, fortunately it is designed with soft rubber corners/edges so no damage is done as the cube is flung across our hardwood floor.

In short great gift to stimiulate musical interest and appreciation in the little ones.
