This little drum has a big voice and strap that goes around the neck so that it is easy to play and march. The bowl of the drum is ceramic, so this is not a great fit for kids who are likely to drop it, throw it, or sit on it...That said, it could be enjoyed by all ages with a little guidance and supervision. Please strike the drum only with hands or with a felt-tipped drumstick (included). Also fun for grown ups!
