As a mom, I often find myself turning to music while addressing a lot of my parenting challenges. Sounds whimsical? Let me explain. As a mom to a hyperactive two-year-old, I often find that the one thing that can calm my child down is his favourite song. We hum it, we sing it and for the past few months, we have taken to trying to play it on his Casio mini keyboard.
Children instantly respond to music and whether you are singing Twinkle Twinkle or the Clean Up song you can get them to immediately pay attention and respond to what you are saying. In my home, we have a song for almost everything we do — from brushing our teeth to cleaning up toys — music and small songs help!
The Casio Mini Keyboard has to be one of my smartest buys. We also have toy xylophones, trumpets, and a toy guitar but they all play second fiddle when it comes to our time on the Casio Mini Keyboard.
As a parent, I know exactly what you are thinking! A real keyboard for a child? We spend a good hour daily just pressing down keys and singing along. Some days it seems like my child has actually played a few notes together but most days I can see he is just having fun, singing his favourite song while randomly pressing down keys!
Why It Is A Smart Buy:
- The Casio Mini Keyboard has mini-sized keys which are perfect for your child’s tiny fingers.
- The impressive song bank of the Casio Mini is filled with popular music that the kids relate to like nursery rhymes and other tunes.
- Most Casio Mini Keyboards come with 100 Tones and 50 Rhythms. This helps your child develop rhythm from an early age and then learn to experiment with different rhythms and tones.
- It comes with a 3-year warranty and the Japanese quality makes it one of the best toys to have around the house. You definitely don’t want your child playing with cheap plastic toys that could be toxic.
- Your ears may take a beating, but your child will be occupied doing something that puts a smile on their face and helps their creativity grow.
So Who Should Buy It?
- If your child enjoys music and likes spending time with instruments then seriously consider it. It is something they can grow into for sure
- If you want to expose your child to music without taking him/her for a class, then this is a great keyboard to buy. They can hammer away at the keyboard anytime they want.
- Music is a great way to bond with your little one- they anyway grow up too fast!
So buy your child the perfect gift – the #CasioMini
