Natural Egg Shakers Classroom Set (30Pk)

The Natural Egg Shakers Classroom Set is a masterpiece of sensory and auditory design. Each shaker is hand-carved from sustainable mahogany, offering a unique wood grain and a much softer, more grounding sound than synthetic shakers. This set is specifically intended for whole-class music sessions, ensuring every child has their own high-quality instrument. The included "Eggtivity" cards provide practitioners with ready-made lesson plans that link music to other areas of the EYFS, such as using the shakers to act out verbs or to follow rhythmic patterns in stories. The tactile nature of the wood provides a calming sensory input, which can be particularly helpful for children who find plastic instruments overstimulating. By using these shakers, children develop auditory discrimination as they listen to the subtle differences in sound between each shaker. They also build gross motor skills by following "stop and start" cues and keeping time with their peers. This set is a durable, professional-grade musical resource that fosters a sense of collective harmony and creative expression in any early years setting.
