Brazil-based industrial designer Ricardo Seola has created a wooden train set for children that also allows them to create music as they play.
His creation is called ‘Sound Track’, and it is a toy for children that teaches them what music is, while they are still developing their motor skills.
According to Seola, he wanted “a toy that allowed children to discover for themselves how music was actually made.”
Each time the train passes through the teeth of the train tracks, it makes music.
Seola initially faced trouble with receiving funding to develop the Sound Track, but eventually found New York-based Quirky who has helped him improve on his design, develop it, produce it and market it.
Sound Track launch date is expected to be late 2013, and can be purchased from Quirky.
