Marble track made of wood Melody track "Frère Jacques" 56 parts | xyloba®
Product description:
With the Xyloba marble run and musical melody track Brother John (Frère Jacques), made of wood and consisting of 56 pieces, you connect two independent worlds in a unique way - music and construction - in the form of a beautiful and sturdy marble run in which all parts can be combined with one another.
This track is designed for the melody of the well-known song "Brother John" (Frère Jacques), but you do not have to build it that way. No matter how you assemble the wooden building blocks, you determine the melody, beat, and rhythm, while the melody is created by the respective pitches. Thanks to the modular, sturdy plug-in system, the track cannot slip and provides fun and sound experiences even with robust construction. The included mallet can be used to play the sound plates like a xylophone and, above all, can be inserted into the marble run so that entirely individual melodies are created as soon as the marble starts rolling and hits the respective sound plate.
With this musical marble run, children aged 3 and over (accompanied by adults), or 5 and over independently, can learn about notes, beat, and rhythm through play. The concept behind it: There are building blocks, sound blocks, passage blocks, rolling tracks, and sound plates with different tones. The rolling tracks differ in length, allowing whole, half, and quarter notes to be created, enabling children to experience how long a note lasts. In this way, the marble run makes music visible.
A marble run fascinates every child and many adults, because everyone can get creative here. This track has great educational value: you can combine, listen, and feel with it. Building the Xyloba marble run promotes spatial thinking as well as cognitive, musical, logical, and motor coordination skills without causing frustration, since nothing can slip or fall down - the marble run is simply ingenious and easy to use, yet its modularity makes it a new experience every time.
