My kids and I and my whole family really enjoy this musical set. It is so fun to practice beats and rythm to any music. They are fun for all ages we get together and just have a blast making up our own beats. There is also a companion book you can buy called Tube Time Music and P.E. activities for boomwhackers that is full of great ideas and educational and physical fun musical activities. I would recommend this product for educators, daycare providers, families, and fun musicians.

We bought the set of Boomwhackers for a 2 1/2 yr old boy. Once opened both he and his 5yr old brother went right to work at playing with it. They really like it. We actually made a cloth holder for the tubes like the one we saw at the Boomwhacker website (elastic strips hold tubes in place on spread of cloth like a xylophone and can roll the whole thing up) which works well to keep the activity from getting too wild - which we were concerned about if giving 2 little boys a set of plastic tubes to start swinging around and whacking things with. We also made our own drumsticks using wooden dowls glued into holes drilled in hard rubber balls.
