Well, I think one tough thing here is that all babies are different, so a toy that might be enjoyable for a baby who can grasp objects and sit up at that age might not be usable for a baby who can't yet do those things. But at least for my baby, who is now 6 months, here are a few things that have been a big hit:

  • This rattle, which lights up, changes colors when you bang it on stuff, and has a mirror on the bottom

  • Mobiles

  • A play mat that looks like a town, and comes with baby-safe cars to "drive" around it (they're stuffed, not plastic)

  • Stuffed toys that have crinkling and squeaky stuff in them (warning: if you have dogs, it will take everything in your power to keep these from being absconded with and becoming dog toys)

  • This toy piano, which she loves to play with her feet, for some reason. This isn't an appropriate toy to let a baby that age use without very direct supervision since it has hard metal xylophone...things on the top, but I think it's just fine as long as you're holding or sitting right next to them while they play it, and ensure they aren't in a position where they could bonk their head on the top part.

  • Dolls of all types. But more specifically: dolls, when you act out stories for her with them. She loves that. It doesn't even have to involve any props or other items; she's just ecstatic if you make the dolls "talk" to each other and her.

You can probably find better, and cheaply too. The octave being a bit off would drive me nuts. If it were me I'd look for something where the octave sounds right. I remember playing with musical instruments as a kid, and finding the octave was always the first thing I did.

My daughter's first "instrument" at maybe six months old was a piano/xylophone hybrid-thing. It plays four notes, one of them an octave (I think it's tonic/3rd/5th/octave). Pleeeenty for a baby to play with. But the intervals are proper intervals, and the octave is a proper octave. The kid won't care but at least it won't drive me up the wall.

At a year and a half, we got her a toy piano - I got lucky and found a Schoenhut 25-key cheap at a yard sale. Piano is a great instrument to be familiar with, it helps you understand how the scale works. Even if you just bang on it for fun, the keys are right there.

We're not going to push lessons on her, unless she shows an interest. But... she sees me playing piano and guitar, and working on notation, and taking Skype lessons, and she's here for band rehearsals. And she's had decent rhythm since she was a few months old. My guess is that she'll ask about music eventually.
