Toot Your Own Horn: Review of this Awesome Musical Toy For Kids Called the Saxoflute

We visited a local science museum not too long ago using a couple gift cards we got for Christmas. Since we had a little left on the cards and we decided that our boys were still a little too young to really get a whole lot out of the museum, we let them pick out a few things in the gift store. One of the things they picked out was this fun music toy. 

This is the Saxoflute. Using 24 interconnecting tubes, including two mouthpieces and two horns, kids get to plan out, build, and actually play their very own colorfully wacky instruments!

Build a whimsical 2 horned saxophone, a quadruple-piped flute, a loopy trumpet, a two-player oboe, or whatever else your imagination can inspire.

Each of the four green pipes feature holes you can plug to actually change the notes you play! A great way to introduce children to the joys of music and the thrill of pure creativity!

Contents include: 2 trumpet ends, 2 whistles, 2 cross tubes, 2 T-shapes, 4 straight tubes with holes and 12 L-shapes in 2 colors. Fully compatible with other tubation building sets (sold separately).

The boys went completely bonkers with this. Froot Loop has built several amazing instruments with it. He has no problem with the interlocking aspects of it. Cocoa Puff loves to play with it too but he needs a little help putting the pieces together still. However, once an instrument is built, he's totally got the hang of making it sing! 

There's a smaller version of this toy with only 16 pieces, 1 horn, and 1 whistle (HERE), but I thought for a few dollars more, I'd get the one with more pieces and 2 horns and whistles so that each kid could potentially build their own instrument. I'm TRYING to help them share, but yeah... 

So this was a huge hit. It's a lot of fun to play with, even for adults. I totally recommend it! 

Can you play any musical instruments?
