If your kid’s ready to rock, make sure she’s got the right gear. From a jamming guitar and drums kit, to a musical dress-up skirt, to gig bag with gusto, there are plenty of choices for inspiration.

Acting Out Country Western Musical Skirt
Got a little kid who’s a little bit country? Then the Acting Out Country Western Musical Skirt will really let her kick up her heels. The cowgirl-themed skirt has a hidden musical device inside that plays “Cotton Eyed Joe” and “The William Tell Overture” when your child twirls around. Yee-haw! $40; actingoutdressup.com.

Paper Jamz
Because Guitar Hero is so five minutes ago, cool kids can make music whenever they like with Paper Jamz. Available as a guitar, drum or amp, these musical instruments work via circuit-embedded paper (no strings attached—literally). Simply touch the paper surface and they’ll be jammin’ in no time. Each instrument comes with three songs to practice or kids can play freestyle. $24.99; wowwee.com.
