Boomwhackers by Whacky Music

I am not a musician by any stretch of the imagination. Still, I appreciate the inherent coolness of the Boomwhackers. Smack these tubes against something and they will each produce a specific tone. It sounds a little crazy but it is rather neat! Since the tubes are of varying height, or length, depending on how you look at it, you can easily put the notes in order. They are also clearly labeled and brightly colored.


The biggest seller at Town Square Toys is the one shown, the C Major Diatonic Scale. That is also the one listed in the Parents' Choice list of the 25 greatest toys of the last 25 years. These Boomwhackers are a Gold Award winner. You might be interested in some of the other Boomwhacker toys as well. We have a whole section on them. To me, the coolest is the Octavator! No, it is not a robot or super villain. It is a bunch of caps that you can put on your Boomwhackers to lower them a full octave! It instantly increases your Boomwhackers' tonal range. Come on by and check them out and start whacking something musically near you!

Amazing Baby Sound Plush Play Balls by Kids Preferred



It is no secret that handy carrying cases are cool. The old adage "a place for everything, and everything in its place" comes to mind. Especially when you have a million toys around the house, it can be a relief to have a place to put them. It is also nice to have them easily packed up and ready to be thrown in a diaper bag or suitcase for a trip. Consequently, I like the Amazing Baby Sound Plush Play Balls by Kids Preferred, right off the bat.

You will most likely like them for different reasons. Perhaps you will like the fact that the balls are wildly different in color and design. Maybe you will enjoy watching your child discover that each ball has a different sound - one chimes, one jingles and one crinkles. Maybe you will have fun watching your little one try to pick up all three of these plush balls at the same time; dropping them and chasing them over and over. Who knows why you will like them? But, I bet you will like them, and I bet your little one will love them.
