As a mom of two kids, I know that musical instruments are one of children’s favorite kinds of toys. These awesome wood instruments from Plan Toys are sturdy enough to withstand the playdates my house hosts on a regular basis and be handed down to generations of music lovers to come!
Check out this drum kit — two drums, a cymbal and a ridged surface to create some fantastic sound effects with. The kids could definitely get their rock out with this set. Headache?? Sure but kids definitely need an understanding of music. It helps with learning math through pattern recognition and is a great resource to help them express themselves and their creativity. That’s definitely worth popping a Tylenol or two, right??
The banjo from Plan Toys immediately conjures up sounds of dueling banjos in my head. I can automatically picture kids strumming away with a look of pure joy and discovery on their faces. Imagine how much fun a group of kids could have rocking out with a range of these instruments.
The best part of these instruments, in my opinion, is the company’s plan to be sustainable. Their toys are made with organic rubberwood trees which no longer produce latex. This is extremely important because it means no fertilizers of pesticides were used on this wood for at least 3 years. You won’t have to worry about any chemical safety of these toys! The wood is then kiln dried using a chemical free process to strengthen the wood.
What about the paint? We’ve all heard about hazardous chemicals being found in the paint in kids toys lately and it’s enough to scare parents silly! Plan Toys only uses safe water based non toxic dyes on all of their products. They do not use dyes containing lead or any other heavy metals. The heavy metal is saved for the kids to make and rock out to with the instruments! Can you imagine a group of 3 year olds playing Metallica!! lol
The company uses a special non-formaldehyde, non-toxic E-Zero glue to assemble the pieces of their toys. They also are heavily involved in recycling and use soy or water-based inks on all of their printed materials.
They have a huge range of toys for all age ranges from baby to large scale kids toys. I definitely would recommend checking out their website for the huge range of safe toys. They also have a list of online retailers that the toys can be purchased from separated by country.
