One of our favourite gift ideas this year is the Baby Grand Toy Piano by Schoenhut. It’s an elegant, yet durable and sturdy toy instrument. The award-winning 30-Key Baby Grand is a great gift for music-lovers and serious students alike. Children love the chime-like tones, yet the construction is authentic enough to provide the opportunity to learn proper finger stretch techniques.

To learn about the about the benefits of giving your child a musical instrument, read more in this Daily Mail article:

• Learning to play a musical instrument helps young brains develop language skills
  “Learning to play an instrument has major advantages for a growing brain and should be a key part of school education, says neuroscientist Professor Nina Kraus.”

If you want to start teaching music even earlier, we also carry Schoenhut’s smaller 25-Key My First Piano, which is a table top model that can be set on the floor for infants. And if you can visit us in North Vancouver, look for more musical instruments like acoustic guitars or a 5-piece drum set.

Are you wondering what a Schoenhut sounds like? Listen to this rendition of “Jingle Bells” played on one of these mini pianos:

At Lusso Baby, one of the elements we look for in the toys we carry is an educational or developmental component. We love toys that teach math, science, and language. But we think it’s equally important to foster creative self-expression.

So in addition to our toy musical  instruments, you’ll find supplies for arts and crafts, many of which make great stocking stuffers. In keeping with our eco-friendly philosophy, many of the supplies are naturally-sourced.
