A Lyre Guide For Parents & Early Childhood Teachers 

A Guide to Playing the Pentatonic Children’s Lyre is a practical, approachable introduction to the 7-string pentatonic children’s lyre, written for parents, caregivers, and early childhood teachers wishing to bring live music into daily rhythms.

Created for beginners, this thoughtfully structured booklet introduces musical notation gradually, alongside simple melodies, songs, and improvisational ideas. The pentatonic tuning allows music to unfold without discord, making it especially supportive for early childhood settings and home use—even for adults without prior musical training.

Music for Daily Rhythms & Storytelling

The authors explore how lyre music can accompany bedtime, quiet moments, movement play, and storytelling, offering guidance for improvisation that responds to mood, imagination, and narrative. Clear, practical instruction is included for tuning, string replacement, and understanding the lyre’s layout, along with pedagogical reflections and reference materials.

This slim yet substantial guide is widely regarded as a foundational resource for Waldorf-inspired music making with children.

Didn't even last an hour!
Color: Orange & Blue, Color: Orange & Blue
I had high hopes for these toys as the description sounded like they might be not easily destructible. Well, I was dissapointed again. Our shih-poo (half shih-tzu/ half minature poodle) had one of the toys apart in an hour. See photo.

Stuffed with Plastic
Color: Orange & Blue
So these are super cute and they have crinkle sounds and a squeaker, but these would not be suitable for chewers. The have plastic stuffing in the legs and my dog almost choked on it...so I just have to tell you that these may be ok for smaller dogs but mine is 30 pounds and he ripped through it and started eating the plastic crinkle stuffing.

My dogs absolutely loved these! The quality is actually good and the price for two of them is fair! Surprisingly the durability is more than I expected my aggressive chewer hasn’t completely destroyed it!

Tough toys!
Color: Orange & Blue
We have 2 deogs, a large Aussie and a small terrior. The little guy is very hard on toys. Few last a full day. We have thrown away hundreds of $ worth of toys, We have had these for a few months, and he has not managed to destoy them yet. They get played with a lot because he has very few toys. I keep trying to find toys which will survive this dog. He hjas even destroyed Kong toys which are pretty tough, but has not destroyed these. I wrote this review as I cam back to order more toys from this company, because it is great to have some which can stand up to his abuse.

Great dog toys
Color: Orange & Blue
These Zeaxuie octopus dog toys are a huge hit with my pup! The crinkle and squeaky features immediately grabbed his attention, and he’s been happily chewing and playing with them ever since. I love that they’re stuffing-free, so I don’t have to worry about any mess. They’re the perfect size for small to medium breeds and seem very durable. These toys have kept my dog entertained for hours – definitely a great purchase!
