IZ from Zizzle is one of the strangest looking music making toys out there. Though it looks like a toy, it's actually a musical instrument that can create new musical rythms and tracks. Press the belly of the toy to change the beat, or twist his 'ears' for a new loop music and IZ will play along with his moving eyes and trumpeting horn.
The IZ also connects to an iPod, CD player or any other music player that uses a standard headset cable, so you can listen to the your musical creations or record it. Yes, it's a strange looking thing; but it's a good gift idea.
