Explore Music and Sound with Toca Band

Toca Band

Toca Band is from one of my favorite developer Toca Boca. It is a music toy letting kids explore music and sound in a fun and intuitive setting. Kids can choose from 16 different characters to form a band, they can also choose a character for a solo performance. It is free for limited time.

Toca Band is getting ready for their big concert and it is up to the kids who are in charge to pick the team to produce the perfect song. Kids can choose from 16 characters to form their band. Each character has unique sounds and rhythms. The sound may change if the character is moved to a different position in the band. Make sure your child try each character on a different spot. The highlight for each character is stepping on the spotlight for a solo performance, each with his/her unique talent and improvised performance. Explore sound and music with Toca Band

Kids can try various numbers of band members. They can move the characters to different locations even with the same members. The potential of different outcomes is endless.

iGameMom Comments:

Toca Band is a perfect toy for you and your child to play together. While playing, you can explore and experiment with different sounds, rhythms and characters. You can guide kids to explore options they forgot to try, and pay attention to the similarities and differences.

Once you have created the music you like, you and kids can get on the floor, sing and dance with the music. You can even set up a stage of your own! If you child is trying to learn an instrument, let him/her join the band with the real instrument and play along. Apps are not meant to limit kids on the screen, they are meant to encourage kids to be interested in learning more, on or off screen.

Toca Band is available for iPhone, iPod and iPad. It is usually $2.99 on App Store. It is FREE today.
