 
Melissa and Doug Band in a Box
Rating:  -
We got this from Amazon for a song during the Chistmas season on one of their big sale days. It was worth two times what we paid for it!!
It has been a huge hit with both our children - a boy, aged 18 months (for whom it was bought) and a girl, nearly 3 years old. The triangle is hands-down the favorite instrument. We have had multiple "concerts" since then (of course, the grandparents think that's adorable).
To those who are offended by noisy toys - don't buy this set. They are instruments intended for toddlers and preschoolers. Of COURSE they are going to be noisy. Cymbals, tambourine, triangle, maracas, clacker - YES, it's makes for a lot of noise. But that's the whole point!!
Also, for those demanding high-quality instruments that produce concert hall sound, don't buy this set. Again, I reiterate that this set is intended for the very young and musically interested. It is great fun. And it is perfect as a starter set. I see my children using it for some time. We have a plastic set of similar instruments from last Christmas that will now be retired as this has taken its place.
My only gripe is that the string for the triangle slips off very easily and can be lost. That, of course, adversely affects how the instrument can be played as well as its sound. But otherwise, A+ in our household on all levels.

I normally really like Melissa & Doug toys but this one was a bit of a disappointment.
My son (2.5) has only had it for about 2 hours and already the tamborine cover is ripped and there is paint missing from the moraccas.
He enjoys the toys, but I feel like they aren't as well made as other Melissa & Doug toys we have. Luckily I got it at a great price or I'd be very disappointed..

I bought 2 sets for my Sunday School Class ages 3, 4, & 5. They love them. No problem with any of the instruments except they all want the triangle!!!! Great for sharing lesson, etc. Fast shipping!

This toy looks like great fun but its poor quality is no fun!! I've always like M & D toys but I question their quality controls. Would not recommend as they break easily & become a safety hazard.

We gave this to my DD for her 3rd bday. We graduated from the baby instruments that were a hand-me-down from her older brother. The kids love playing w/ this kit (my 6 1/2 yo old son too). The instruments seem very durable. They come w/ a wooden crate box which has no lid. If it had a lid, I would give this toy 5 stars.
