Pat Bells

A beautiful set of handbells that is intuitively easy to play. No striking with a mallet, no handle to hold, simply tap on the wooden knobs for enchanting tones. Patented design eliminates the double-ringing effect that might frustrate young learners when playing with standard handbells. These bells are so easy to play that they provide a great reward for the efforts of kids with low muscle tone or delayed motor skill development. Match the colored notes on the enclosed song cards to the color of each bell to play eight tunes, or compose your own music. Playing these bells promotes eye-hand coordination and self esteem. This set includes 8 color-coded bells representing 8 notes in a major scale, 4 double-sided color-coded song cards, and a storage/carrying case. Case is 15" x 10" x 5", bells are 4" tall.
WARNING: Choking Hazard - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
