Melissa and Doug Beginner Band In a Box 1 Review

I bought this box of musical instruments for my son... and he loves it!  We often parade around our living room playing all kinds of different music makers.  The box includes a xylophone, kazoo and castanets.  I love the castanets and my 2 year old can already play a pretty mean tune on the kazoo.  My only dislike is that they paired the xylophone up with a square headed mallet.  Our very nice wooden xylophones are now all marked up from the corners of the mallet.  I've been trying to get my son to use another wooden mallet, but he is particular about using what came with the set.  Oh well.  They still work all marked up, but they don't look very pretty anymore.
