Questions
Most busy boards ask a child to look and touch. This one also asks them to listen. Built into this six-panel sensory wall set for nurseries is a real, playable xylophone, so a nursery wall gets some noise along with the usual locks, gears and latches. The panels mount edge to edge across a 210×65cm (83×26") wall run, sized for a nursery or toddler room rather than a single home playroom.
Birch plywood, non-toxic finish, mounting hardware in the box, each of the six panels holds up to daily nursery use the same way the rest of BumbleBeeSmart's sets do. What's different here is one panel doing double duty as an instrument.
A fixed wall installation means nothing to lose between groups. One toddler moves on from the xylophone, the next one picks up exactly where the sound stopped, no setup and no loose mallet to track down.
Sea and musical play in one wall set
This sensory wall panel set pairs an underwater theme with a working xylophone, adding sound exploration to the usual mix of locks, gears and latches. Sea themes are consistently one of our most-requested nursery choices, and the xylophone gives this particular set an extra draw for children who respond more to sound than to visuals alone.

Montessori-inspired learning experience
Nothing on this set has one correct way to use it, including the xylophone. A child can strike a note at random, notice the sound, and try to repeat it, entirely self-directed. That fits the same Montessori-inspired pattern as the rest of the set: real materials, self-paced exploration, no adult narrating what comes next.
Safe, durable and built for daily nursery use
- Handmade from birch plywood with a non-toxic finish
- Interactive elements, including the xylophone, securely attached for everyday use
- Built for shared use in nurseries and daycare rooms, where several children use the set throughout the day
See our sensory wall safety page for the finishes we use and why birch plywood holds up better than MDF in a room full of toddlers.
Easy wall installation
Each panel includes mounting hardware and is designed for straightforward wall installation. The six panels mount edge to edge with no gap, so the full set spans 210cm. Mount the row at a comfortable height for toddlers, low enough that a standing child can reach the bottom row unassisted.
Also popular in schools, daycare and clinics
While this set is built and sized for nurseries, the sea and xylophone combination is a strong fit wherever young children wait or gather in groups. If you're outfitting a licensed daycare rather than a nursery specifically, see our sensory wall panels for daycare range. It's also a frequent choice for preschool classrooms - browse our sensory wall panels for schools collection. For pediatric waiting areas, our sensory wall panels for clinics range covers that use case.
