The Sound Track is a truly genius children’s toy. Taking inspiration from two favorite toys, the train and anything that plays music, this set helps to keep children occupied and happy.
The track has some standard features, such as the ability to connect each piece creating a variety of shapes, however, it also has a completely different aspect to it; the track plays music. Raised pegs that are placed in different spots around the track hit the bottom of the train as it moves, and that is what plays the music. Since the pegs are moveable, you can either play a pre-set song, or shuffle them around in order to create your own piece. Currently, The Sound Track is still in concept phase, but this would be an incredibly popular toy with kids.
