A toy musical playset having a teapot with xylophone keys which is filled with styrene plastic beads, a number of pots with xylophone keys and a pan with a xylophone key, tambourine symbols and musical ribs. The pots, pan and teapot may be stacked on top of each other. The toy pan may be used like a tambourine, or the musical ribs may be used with a toy spatula or spoon to make musical sounds. In addition, the toy teapot filled with beads may be shook to produce musical sounds. A child may strike the xylophone keys with a spoon producing musical sounds during play when the pots, pan and teapot are in a stacked configuration, or when they are spread out on top of a table. The pots or pan may also be hung on a child's belt.
