EastRock Egg Shakers Set 6 PCS Hand Percussion Shakers Musical Maracas Percussion Instruments

Nice loud sound to these shakers. Great price and a great addition to music class.

Great little shaker! These give a good sound for use with my children's music group.

Good shakers! Good sound and sound great.

These are fun little "noise makers." Perfect for little hands or big ones. Very entertaining. Makes enough noise to be heard but not so much it would bother another person in close proximity.

Cute little shakers that are just the right volume. The size is perfect for little hands and they’re not too loud or too soft in volume. We had some other kid shakers that you could barely hear but not these. Love that they came in a set (at a good price!) so both of my kids could play with them. I ended up adding to their Easter baskets this year. We use them often for our family band time. They’ve survived lots of drops on hardwood floors so can attest to their durability. My only nit is that I don’t love the logo on the front which rubs off a bit.

Egg shakers are a staple instrument for young children because they provide the appropriate volume of sound (unlike cymbals and sleigh bell shakers) and they are durable. Yes, children should be supervised using them because any egg shaker can break if thrown across the room hard enough (thanks, 6th graders!) which leaves you having to quickly sweep up the tiny pellets. So "we shake the eggs." This brand is sturdy and the colors are limited to three: perfect amount of choice when you have a class of 18 who are allowed to pick their own (so no arguing over the only violet colored egg etc.) I love that infants enjoy these (supervised) for grasping or rolling during floor-time. These give excellent sensory input from the beads which makes them intuitive and soothing at the same time.

These egg shakers make our informal group singing times more fun by adding a pleasant, rhythmic sound. They’re hard plastic with a matte finish, exactly as pictured, and the same size as a regular grocery store egg. The pack came with 6, two of each color in the black, gray and cream scheme I selected. I don’t know if they will split if I drop them and I don’t plan on finding out, but there is a slightly visible seam where I can envision a split happening at some point. But for now, this fairly lightweight product does the job well for a reasonable price. I even put two egg shakers in my purse for spontaneous musicality moments…lol.

I use these in our Nursing Home Ministry. They love to take part making music as we sing those old time Gospel Hymns.
