Introduction
Do you wish to nourish and encourage your child's musical abilities? Created for toddlers and pre-schoolers, Sago Mini Music Box is yet another iPhone and iPad app created by Sago Sago, which will help your child discover the artist within.
Sago Sago has yet again come up with an absolutely fantastic app for children, this time with a musical theme. Featuring the cute characters, amazing artwork, and superb songs that Sago Sago are known for, this app is sure to help your little baby explore the world of song and dance.
I must admit that I have seen many engaging apps for the same age group which are free of charge, but Sago Mini Music Box charges $2.99 for this musical adventure. Is it worth the cost? Let's find out.

Interface For Infants
The thing I like most about Sago Mini Music Box is that it has a very cool interface devoid of any adverts or in-app purchases. This ensures that toddlers, whose sense of wonder drives them to tap all over the iPhone or iPad screen, can continue on their adventure without annoying ads opening up every so often.
Children also have the option of playing with just one finger or using multiple fingers for tapping. The tempo of each song can also be changed to give your child an understanding of beats and rhythm.

Songs And Cost
The Music Box contains two of children's favorite tunes in some really amusing and fun settings, namely “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” The latter features Jinja, a whimsical cat who floats across the sky, while the latter stars Harvey the dog, who enjoys sailing over the ocean.
These songs will also familiarize your child with the earth, sky, and water.
I highly commend the developers on their meticulously done animations which are very engaging, even for a fully grown person like myself. Although I have no plans of child rearing in the near future, I hope to be able to bring such a lovely and joyful experience to my little ones someday.
As far as the cost of this app goes, I feel that the fact that there are no in-app purchases really speaks to Sago Sago's desire to bring a fun and enjoyable experience to your child. Most apps that are free have minimal features and fewer animations, asking you to make purchases over and over to get access to the full app. Sago Mini Music Box has no such gimmick and they charge you once upfront, which is fair enough.
