Music and sounds for babies: instruments, animals and soft songs
Babies are born listeners. Real animal sounds, instruments and calm songs are a natural invitation to pay attention, move and smile.
Real recordings, not beeps
On the Sounds board each target plays a real recording: the elephant trumpets, the cow moos, the drum booms. Real sounds are richer and easier to connect with the real world.
Instruments to discover
Circus Surprise includes a drum, piano, guitar, bell, trumpet and maracas, each with an animation that shows how it is played: sticks hit the drum, fingers press the keys, strings vibrate.
Background music by mood
The speaker menu offers five categories—Circus, Baby, Baby Relax, Baby Adventure and Happy—with three soft songs each. Volume stays low so it never covers voices. “No music” turns off only the songs.
Move to the rhythm
Clap, sway or march along. Movement helps children feel rhythm in their bodies.
- Pick a Happy song and clap together.
- Choose Baby Relax at the end of the day.
- Tap the drum and stomp on each beat.
Listening is learning
Distinguishing sounds is an important early skill. Ask “Who makes this sound?” and let your child find the animal or instrument.
