Discover what a xylophone is and how it works! A simple explanation perfect for 4-year-olds to spark their interest in music.
A xylophone is a musical instrument that makes beautiful sounds. It looks like a rainbow of colored bars that you can hit with special sticks called mallets.
When you hit the bars with the mallets, they make different notes or sounds. The longer bars make low sounds, and the shorter bars make high sounds. So, if you want to make music, you can hit different bars and create your own tunes!
Try to find a xylophone at home or in a toy store. You can play simple songs or just hit the bars in different ways to see what cool sounds you can make!
