Little Dutch Xylophone Crocodile - Safari Friends
Pickup available at Kiddie Country
Usually ready in 24 hours
A xylophone is one of the loveliest first instruments, and this Little Dutch crocodile makes the introduction irresistible. Colourful metal keys run along the wooden crocodile's back, and as little ones tap from tail to nose with the easy-hold mallet, the notes rise up the scale.
Metal keys give a brighter, purer sound than plastic, so experimenting with tone and melody is genuinely pleasant for the whole household. It is a thoughtful pick among musical toys for toddlers, and one of our very favourite small gifts for a first birthday or Christmas morning.
Start a little band with the Music Drum or the Music Set, or pair it with the Wooden Pull-Along Crocodile for a crocodile-themed gift.

Why we love the Xylophone Crocodile
It makes music rather than noise, which every parent will value. The crocodile design is pure Safari Friends charm, and we think it is one of the best small gifts in the collection for a one-year-old.
