Q: Is the the Caterpillar Xylophone that has frustration free packaging or is this the standard edition one?
submitted by Nick M - 2 years ago
A: Hi Nick, The Caterpillar Xylophone comes in standard packaging. Your Friends at Melissa & Doug

Q: Why are the heads of the mallets not rounded. it would seem to me that a round head would make a better tone and if a sibling decided to hit the other on the head, a round mallet would hurt less.

This is a very sturdy toy - as usual per Melissa and Doug items. It is nice that the mallets have a place to live inside the item itself. My grandbaby is not quite 3 but loves banging away on it!

The G (dark green) actually plays an F#. All the other notes are close enough to the intended pitches. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to play any standard kids songs

Item arrived broken (see picture). My husband glued it back together. After 2 days of use the paint is chipping. The mallets are much bigger than the keys which makes playing notes feel very clumsy.

It’s super cute but the red paint is chipping off the sticks and now I can’t have my daughter play with it until I find sticks somehow. Just chipped all over right when we started playing it. So bummed.

The toy is cute and simple. It comes with a cute little card on how to play a couple songs however that card can get lost quickly. Wish there was a better way to store it on the item so it wouldn’t get lost. Good price point.

Flat C. It’s so flat I cringe. I love the design it’s very cute but not function or quality. Also, after less than a week one of the mallets chipped at the base and we had to throw it out.

Was super excited for my nephew to play around with this, but the E and F notes were both completely out of tune (at different intervals too). I wish there was some way to fix it or tune it up as it has already been opened! The toy itself is beautifully crafted otherwise
