I get these for all my nieces and nephews for their first birthday. The hard part is remembering what tune I've gotten a sibling so there are no duplicates. Durable and just right for beginning control of pincer grasp and hand movement. Even older children are interested in the clockwork-type movement--right up to the middle school age. Only drawback is it's right-handed. A lefty child has to turn the crank backwards or with the right hand.

The miniature Music Box is a great article for any age. Montessori Services has a great selections of music. What is even better is they replaced my non-working one no questions asked, truly great service.

I really like that you can see the insides of the music box. However, the lever to wind the music box doesn't seem to be very good quality. One of the three boxes we got broke within a day.

I have several of these music boxes. I will put one on the shelf at a time. The demonstration is given as a large group lesson. Many children will need a follow up point of interest lessons. The control of error is that it will not make music if you don't turn the handle in the correct direction. These music boxes are sturdy and make a lovely sound.

My only concern is how well the crank will hold up with less than gentle use by young children. The sound quality is good.
