A
Toy Music Box
Is A Toy For
Life
Music box collectors
and enthusiasts
often have a
wide variety
of music boxes
in their collections.
Some collectors
may prefer music
boxes that play
wonderful music,
while others
might opt for
those that provide
an ornate home
to jewelry and
family heirlooms.
But what we
often forget
when discussing
music boxes
is that nearly
all of us have
been touched
by their song
at one time
or another.
There are many
children's toys
that have an
almost universal
appeal and presence;
teddy bears,
a baby doll,
toy cars, and
yes, a toy music
box too.
Every day millions
of babies are
lulled to sleep
by the soothing
sounds of a
music box. And
every day many
of those same
babies wake
up to play with
a toy music
box. |
Whether
it is a Jack-In-The-Box
whose song is
a precursor
to him springing
from his box,
or a stuffed
toy that is
wound up and
plays a lullaby,
music boxes
become part
of our lives
at the earliest
of ages.
Older children
have strong
ties to music
boxes as well.
Many girls enjoy
a toy music
box in the form
of a music jewelry
box that opens
to reveal more
than just jewelry.
Maybe the most
popular toy
music box for
girls is the
ballerina music
box which opens
to display the
performance
of a ballerina,
or maybe an
ice skater,
who twirls gracefully
across a stage
of mirrored
glass. Boys,
on the other
hand, might
be more familiar
with a toy music
box that displays
circling airplanes,
trains, or cars
instead of a
dancing or skating
performer. Of
course, there
are countless
versions of
the toy music
box that we
all remember,
regardless of
our gender.
Toy clocks,
radios, televisions,
records players,
and CD players,
all of them
have taken the
form of a music
box and have
provided hours
of fun to countless
children.
As adults many
of us still
have an interest
in toy music
boxes. Whether
it is a musical
snow globe,
a souvenir from
a vacation,
or even the
music boxes
that we enjoyed
in our youth,
for many a toy
music box is
something that
stays with us
for a lifetime. |
