Musical Play Time with Melissa and Doug Every little musician needs a starting point. Musical toys from Melissa and Doug give children the chance to learn the joys of music and instruments at a very young age. In the earliest of pre-school years, before they can reach the family piano or their older sibling’s drum set, these toys introduce little children to the different instruments and aid in their discovery of music. When used as a musical launching pad, musical toys can ignite children's imagination, allow them to them discover themselves through music even when they're only toddlers.
