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.

Helps With Teeth Cleaning
Size: Small, Style: Beef
Our dog loves chewing on this toy multiple times a day. I believe it helps with teeth cleaning. As we do not brush or add additives to water or food for teeth cleaning. Seems that vet is not suggesting to have teeth cleaned every visit anymore. The rubber is very durable. Last about 6 to 7 months before we start to see deterioration and have to replace.

My dog's favorite rubber toy
Size: Small, Style: Beef
One of my dog's favorite ever toys!! She is obsessed with everything playology but she never gets tired of the squeaky bones and the nubby bones. My only word of caution is to know your dog and if they're a big chewer be careful they dont eat pieces. She'll chew off chunks and spit them out.
