Product Information
Full details
These Playwrite Bath Time Water Flutes are designed for young children to explore musical notes and sounds during bath time. The key benefit is making bath time educational and fun by introducing basic musical concepts. A caveat is that water levels need to be precise for accurate tones. This set includes five colored flutes that produce different notes when filled with water to marked levels, mounted on a floating foam holder that also allows for pan-pipe style playing. Instructions for learning simple songs are included, and the flutes can also be used outside the bath.
