Toy Flutes and Recorders
Flutes and recorders for children: wooden flutes, panpipes, whistles and simple recorders for a first melody.
A first wind instrument
A flute is one of the few instruments where a child hears a real note within seconds of trying. That immediate result is what keeps a four-year-old blowing rather than giving up. Covering the holes one at a time teaches finger control long before any reading of music.
Wood or plastic
Wooden flutes have a warmer, softer tone and feel pleasant to hold, which matters when small hands are involved. Plastic recorders survive being dropped and can be rinsed clean, so they suit school and holidays better. Both work for a beginner, so pick on where the instrument will actually be played.
