JOINT WINNER: Mini Music Maker Drums for Schools

This all-in-one music exploration machine is perfect for introducing young children to the many different ways that sounds can be produced. It's also a wonderful way to learn to make music together.

There are 15 instruments, including thumb piano, bicycle bell, drums and shakers, and room for six children to play together at a time. The product encourages music-making to be a social and communicative activity as children develop 'musical conversations'.

Early years educator Craig Trafford from Early Ears Music says, 'This multi-instrument workstation provides a fantastic opportunity for children, right across the early years and primary education range, to experience social music-making in a fun way. The design means that the children are facing each other and this provides a very positive, open community environment for them to begin making music together.'
