Sounds Like Fun announces the first six music makers for growing minds. These unique musical instruments include ergonomically and educationally designed hand percussion items and other developmentally
appropriate rhythmic and tonal instruments.

The first six Sounds Like Fun music makers are:

• Drip, Drop, Jingle, Jangle: For infants older than 3 months, a set of two high-contrast instruments: a black-and-white rainmaker and bell shaker.
• Rhythm 'n' Coos: A set of three rhythm instruments for infants older than six months. It includes a ratchet, a maraca and chime bells.
• Glockentoddler: A musically correct glockenspiel, similar to a xylophone, designed with round corners and edges for safe play.
• A-B-C Clappers 3: Three different castanets, each a different shape, color, and tone, with painted numbers and letters for basic learning.
• Shake, Rattle and Drum: Made for ages 3 and up, includes natural wood drum with toddler-sized sticks, a castanet, two mini-maracas and a tambourine stick.
• Shake 'n' Strum: For ages 2 and older, a violin-shaped wood shaker that also includes an attached "bow scraper" that can create a rasping sound on raised ridges.

This is the first series of instruments in the Sounds LIke Fun line of music makers for growing minds. Additional children's instruments will be introduced in 2006.
