A real drum with a solid wooden body, sized and built for a child to actually wear and play, not just look at. The rainbow-striped wooden shell surrounds a genuine drumhead, and an adjustable strap lets it hang comfortably at the right height for marching, parading, or just standing in the living room keeping a beat, freeing both hands for the two included wooden drumsticks. Because it straps on rather than needing to sit on a table or floor, a child can drum while moving, which turns a simple rhythm exercise into something closer to a parade, and keeps the whole body involved rather than just the hands. Learning to keep a steady beat, speed up, slow down, or follow along with a song builds real rhythm and timing, skills that carry over into any instrument a child picks up later. The bright rainbow finish makes it as fun to look at as it is to bang on. Sturdy wooden construction holds up to enthusiastic drumming. A genuine first drum for ages 3 and up.
