Goki Kalimba Thumb Piano, Ladybird

You play the kalimba with both hands, using the thumbs and index fingers to pluck the metal tines. The kalimba's great virtue for children is that it is tuned — every note belongs, so anything played sounds musical. For a child who has been told to stop banging something, an instrument that rewards random exploration with a genuinely pleasant sound is a very different experience. It is also quiet. Wooden body, metal tines, small enough to hold in two hands or take in a bag, and recommended from about five years when thumbs are strong enough to pluck cleanly.
