{"product_id":"janod-gioia-musical-bells","title":"Janod - Musical Bells for Toddlers - 5 Metal Bells","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Janod Gioia Bells are a genuine first instrument. Five colourful metal bells sit on a wooden handle sized for small hands, and each one rings a different note when struck with the supplied wooden mallet. Part of the Gioia range - pronounced joy-yuh - of early learning musical toys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive distinct notes, not five identical clangs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is what separates a real instrument from a noisemaker. Because each bell produces a different pitch, a toddler can hear the difference, work out which bell makes which sound, and start playing deliberately rather than randomly. That shift - from making noise to making music - usually happens faster than parents expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colours give children a way to remember and repeat. Hit red then blue then red again and you have a pattern; ask them to copy your sequence and you have a game that trains musical memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 colourful metal bells, each producing a different note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden handle designed for small hands to grasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden mallet included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with FSC certified wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for children aged 18 months and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCoordination through music\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAiming a mallet at a specific bell is precise hand-eye work, and holding the handle steady with the other hand adds a bilateral coordination challenge. Children practise both willingly because the reward - a clear, satisfying ring - is instant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilding an ear early\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusical discrimination develops young, and it develops through exposure to actual pitch differences rather than generic sound. Giving a toddler five reliable notes to explore is a real foundation, whether or not they ever go on to formal lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA first instrument, not a noisy toy\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a real difference between a toy that makes sound and an instrument that produces notes. Handing a toddler something that responds accurately to what they do teaches them that they are the one making the music - and that sense of authorship is what makes a child come back to an instrument rather than abandon it after a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from FSC certified wood and metal, the Gioia Bells sit alongside the harmonica and other instruments in the range - a coordinated set of first instruments designed for very young musicians \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Janod","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47759856992434,"sku":"J07638","price":38.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/8516\/6258\/files\/janod-wooden-hand-bells-five-colour-musical-toy.jpg?v=1794266230","url":"https:\/\/discounttoyco.com.au\/products\/janod-gioia-musical-bells","provider":"Discount Toy Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
