This drum never fails to attract the kids who come to share playdates with my grandson. It is beautifully and brightly decorated, big and solid, and it is a natural kid magnet.  It has a beautiful tone when banged on by an infant or a toddler or one of the grown-up visitors who can't resist picking up the very sturdy drumsticks that come with it.  It's also strong enough to be danced on by the liveliest toddler.
