Camille Saint-Saëns’ ‘grand zoological fantasy’ is beautiful, funny, and clever all at once. ‘The Swan’, perhaps the best known movement, is scored for two pianos and a cello solo. The calming cello tune represents the bird’s effortless gliding, while the rolling piano chords paint a musical picture of the swan’s hidden feet, paddling furiously under the water. Each of the piece’s 14 movements represents a different animal, including a lion, donkey, and elephant, as well as fossils, an aquarium, an aviary and – Saint-Saëns’ little joke – pianists, possibly the most dangerous animal of them all.

Before a performance, the instruments are usually shown to the children, which helps them to understand the unique sound of each orchestral instrument. Based on research that lullabies benefit maternal health, strengthen bonds between parent and child, and aid child development, the project fosters collaborations between professional musicians and new parents to compose personal lullabies for their babies.
From disappearing acts to card tricks, the possibilities are endless! To enhance the interactive experience, the Magic Workshop also includes a magic wand that can trigger special effects and sounds within the playset. This adds an extra layer of excitement and mystery to the overall play experience. Safety is always a top priority for Little Tikes, and the Magic Workshop is no exception.
Where Music Helps: Community Music Therapy in Action and Reflection
This book explores how people may use music in ways that are helpful for them, especially in relation to a sense of wellbeing, belonging and participation. The central premise for the study is that help is not a decontextualized effect that music produces. The book contributes to the current discourse on music, culture and society and it is developed in dialogue with related areas of study, such as music sociology, ethnomusicology, community psychology and health promotion. Where Music Helps describes the emerging movement that has been labelled Community Music Therapy, and it presents ethnographically informed case studies of eight music projects (localized in England, Israel, Norway, and South Africa). The various chapters of the book portray "music's help" in action within a broad range of contexts; with individuals, groups and communities - all of whom have been challenged by illness or disability, social and cultural disadvantage or injustice. Music and musicing has helped these people find their voice (literally and metaphorically); to be welcomed and to welcome, to be accepted and to accept, to be together in different and better ways, to project alternative messages about themselves or their community and to connect with others beyond their immediate environment. The overriding theme that is explored is how music comes to afford things in concert with its environments, which may suggest a way of accounting for the role of music in music therapy without reducing music to a secondary role in relation to the "therapeutic," that is, being "just" a symbol of psychological states, a stimulus, or a text reflecting socio-cultural content.
A new mother herself, Cirelli sees singing lullabies as a “multimodal experience” shared by mother and child. “It’s not just about the baby hearing music,” she says. “It’s about being held by the mom, having her face very close, and feeling her warm, gentle rocking.”
The playset is made from durable and non-toxic materials, ensuring that children can play safely for years to come. Additionally, all the small parts are securely attached to prevent choking hazards. We believe that the Little Tikes Magic Workshop will be a great addition to any child's playtime routine. It not only encourages imaginative play but also fosters creativity, dexterity, and problem-solving skills. Whether it's for a birthday gift or just to add some magic to everyday play, the Magic Workshop is sure to be a hit. We invite you to join us in celebrating the launch of the Little Tikes Magic Workshop! Make sure to check out our website or visit a store near you to get your hands on this enchanting playset. Let the magic begin! Best regards, The Little Tikes Team.
Reviews for "Unlock the Secrets of Magic with Little Tikes' Workshop Launch"
1. Sarah - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Launch. The quality of the toys was extremely poor, with cheap plastic that easily broke. The magic tricks included were boring and lacked any kind of wow factor. I expected more from a brand like Little Tikes. Overall, not worth the money.
2. John - 2/5 - The Little Tikes Magic Workshop Launch fell short of my expectations. The instructions were confusing and the tricks didn't work properly. The whole experience felt gimmicky and the set didn't provide enough variety to keep my child engaged for a long time. I wouldn't recommend it to other parents looking for a magic kit.
3. Lisa - 1/5 - I regret purchasing the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Launch. The tricks were overly simplistic and lacked any real excitement. My child lost interest in it within minutes. The set itself felt flimsy and the plastic props easily broke. Save your money and find a better quality magic kit elsewhere.
4. Robert - 2/5 - The Little Tikes Magic Workshop Launch was a letdown. The packaging was appealing, but the actual content was disappointing. The tricks were too basic and didn't provide any real learning opportunity for my child. The set lacked durability and the cheap materials used made it feel like a cheap toy. I expected better from Little Tikes.
