MUSIC FOR CHILDREN MUSIC IS BENEFICIAL FOR CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT Not only do musical instruments provide a great source of fun and enjoyment for young children, they are also incredibly beneficial to their development and can assist them in gaining a variety of important skills and qualities that will put them in good stead for the future. Make sure that the children in your life have the best possible start by encouraging them to play a musical instrument from an early age. Whilst many musical toys simply look like real instruments, The Play Maker range consists of a selection of real instruments designed for children by adult musicians.
