Kids love the
"clip-clop" sounds they can make with
these lightweight, hardwood blocks. They're
perfect for creating horse sound effects such as
galloping and trotting. Hold the block in one hand, and use the
other to strike it with the mallet.
Ages: 4+
Sand Blocks are wooden paddles covered with
long-lasting, fine sounding sandpaper. Rub
and clack the paddles together to create a
variety of rhythmic patters.

A guiro is a
traditional instrument from South and Central
America. You create sound by scraping the
corrugated surface up and down in long or short
strokes. A child can scrape along happily to his
or her favorite songs.
The original guiros were made from a carved
gourd vegetable. The modern wood version sown
here has a cute fish shape and bright painted
colors that will appeal to the inner beat of
every child.

Claves are two
tuned musical pieces of rosewood that you play
by banging them together. This instrument is
perfect for group play as its sound complements
other instruments nicely, completing a band. The
large claves have a deeper, louder sound than
the little claves.
