Fisher-Price Classic Xylophone encourages early music-making. Helps children develop a sense of accomplishment. The mallet is attached, so it never gets lost. This xylophone is on wheels so kids can pull it along wherever they go! Since 1930, Fisher-Price has been in business to create toys that fascinate and stimulate a child"s imagination. Fisher-Price was founded in 1930, hardly the best time to launch a new business as the shadows of the Depression still loomed over American business. Still, Herman Fisher, Irving Price and Helen Schelle combined their diverse manufacturing and retailing experience to create a toy company and confidently brought 16 wooden toys to the International Toy Fair in New York City. The whimsical nature and magical surprises of those first Fisher-Price toys quickly caught on and became the hallmarks of Fisher-Price ever since. Fisher-Price believes in the potential of children and in the importance of a supportive environment in which they can grow, learn, and get the best possible start in life.
