A more sophisticated take on the classic, pull-along xylophone, created through careful selection of subtle formal details, colors and materials.

Breaking the rainbow stereotype! A gradient effect of deeper blues and lighter greens work to reinforce the changes in pitch, where dark to light represents low to high pitch.

The racer body is a rotationally molded, high density polyethylene which is recyclable. Wooden details are added in the wheels, mallets and pull ring for a high quality look and feel. The pull rope can be wound up and stored underneath the racer, and the mallets look like eyes when tucked away, giving the toy extra character and whimzy.
