We try to provide a variety of sound during play. We prefer non-electronic toys for the richness of sound, and the natural auditory feedback.

‍

#1
Fisher-Price® Xylophone

The Fisher-Price® xylophone is a classic, for good reason. The notes are loud, pleasant, well-tuned. Because the sound is natural, baby can feel the vibrations, and stop the sound through touch.

While the mallet string is a little short (likely for safety reasons), it's still usable and helps sharpen motor skills.

#2
Lovevery® Rainbow Color Spinner

We love this colorful spinner from Lovevery®. A marble inside makes a loud, hollow sound when it's spun.

We love that the rhythm of the sound depends on how fast baby spins it, providing auditory feedback in response to baby's actions.

This was only available as part of the Lovevery® subscription, which we don't have. But, we were able to find it second-hand online! It looks beautiful on our toy shelf.

$80 for the full Senser kit, or $20-$40 on second-hand marketplaces

Grimm's Nesting Bowls

This is a toy where less is more.

These wooden cups make a loud, clear sound when stacked, and when they topple. They're beautifully and naturally dyed, and have become a versatile favorite.

$30 at Bella Luna Toys

Fisher-Price® Hide and Peek Pop-Up

This little peek-a-boo motor skill panel is adorable. Unlike other versions of this toy on the market, this one uses all non-electronic sound. Squeaks, bells, cranks, and pops accompany the action.

$14.99 at Target

Happy playing!
