PlayzoneFit Musical Bell Stones - Set of 5 Colorful Musical Stepping Stones for Children - Perfect Indoor & Outdoors Active Play Equipment for Children Ages 3+

Our 3-year-old granddaughter is our tester for kids toys. She is very musical, so we thought she would like this. It held her interest for about 30 minutes and that was it. The bells were hard for us to hear, and she said she couldn't get the "tune" that she wanted out of it. She moved the pieces around, but it just didn't play for her.

I got these musical stepping stones together with the stepping stones of different textures from the same company. This is quite a novel, interesting, and fun approach to provide sensory stimulation. I just hope that the sounds were more pleasant, unique, and easy to tell one from the other. Overall, still a good tool.

I ordered these musical stepping stones for my six year old daughter since she loves her regular ones so much. Right out of the box they were ready to go, so I set them up in our hallway for her to try them out. While they do work well and my daughter finds them a lot of fun, they produce the most atrocious sounds I’ve heard in a while. After about ten minutes, it was enough to become a huge annoyance. Even my daughter thought they sounded “weird.” If only they had spent more time when it came to the musical chime to make it sound actually tolerable, then it’d be a five star product. Overall, I strongly recommend to save your eardrums and pass on this.

The media could not be loaded.  I knew this toy would be loud, but it is truly unbearable cacophony.The stepping stones stones seem quite sturdy and durable, and would be fine just as a jumping toy. My kids like them, and the bells alone would be okay.However, the bell is actually somewhat hard to ring; you have to step in them lightly in just the right place. If your kids jump between the stones, as is natural, the bell doesn’t ring. There is just an unpleasant twang. Even if they do manage to hit the bell properly, the body of the stones resonates at an unpleasant frequency. The video doesn’t quite capture it; it’s very low.I would only recommend these if your kids can play with them at someone else’s house. Preferably someone hard of hearing.

The media could not be loaded.  These are a fun idea but difficult to implement well. They are sturdy and designed for outdoor use, but that sturdiness makes it difficult to get a good clear chime mechanism that works consistently. The clunk of the button is as loud or louder than the chime. Also, it didn't take more than a day of hard use for the mechanism on at least one of the stepping blocks to start jamming.
