Why it's here
The rare pounding toy that's also an instrument. Hammer the balls and they chime down the xylophone — then the xylophone slides out and gets played on its own, which is why this outlives the pounding phase instead of aging out with it.
Skip it if
Skip it if the child is already past 3 — the pounding stage is short and this one is squarely for it. And it's a noise toy; the household has a vote.
