This maraca is a wonderful way to introduce young ones to the joy of music. Made from coconuts, this beautiful musical instrument has a wooden handle for easy grip and shaking. Watch your child’s face light up when they hear and see how easy it is to be musical.  Â

My one year old niece knows exactly what to do with this! Although her little hands have some growing to do before she can hold it sturdily, it’s a very safe size for her to use by herself and keeps her entertained.

The maraca is absolutely beautiful and so reasonably priced. I can’t wait for my little one to unwrap it on Christmas morning.

These are a beautiful decorative item. The children dont understand they are fragile and can’t be hit against another object or surface. One was broken in less than 2 weeks and the smal stones inside were dropped everywhere.
