MEGA Bloks Introduces the New Sensory Musical Farm Band

— June 7, 2023 — Social Good
Mattel is bringing the joy of music and building play together with the new MEGA Bloks Musical Farm Band. This exciting product features buildable farm animals that double as musical instruments, including a horse xylophone, a cow drum, a pig cymbal, and more. With 10 sensory features, toddlers can engage in interactive play as they assemble the 45-piece set and create delightful music.

The Musical Farm Band set allows children to build eight farm animals, each with its own unique musical feature. From the horse xylophone to the rabbit squeaker and the sheep guiro, each instrument offers a different sound to explore. As toddlers join the band, they can learn to play six nursery songs, helping them develop rhythm and melody skills.

Endorsed by Fisher-Price, this learning toy not only provides entertainment but also supports the development of fine motor, thinking, and music skills. Through hands-on building and musical exploration, children can enhance their cognitive abilities while having a blast.
