More Rhythm Percussion
          All kids can make music. The earlier in life they start, the 
          better.

                              Kids 
                              love the "clip-clop" sounds they can make with 
                              these lightweight, hardwood blocks. They're 
                              perfect for creating horse sound effects like
                                galloping and trotting. Hold the block in one hand and use the
                                other to strike it with the mallet.

                                Sand Blocks are wooden paddles covered with
                                long-lasting, fine-sounding sandpaper. Rub
                                and clack the paddles together to create a
                                variety of rhythmic patterns.

                              A guiro is a 
                              traditional instrument from South and Central 
                              America. 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 favourite songs. The original guiros were made from a carved 
                                gourd vegetable. The modern wood version shown 
                                 
                                has a cute fish shape and bright painted 
                                colours that will appeal to the inner beat of 
                                every child.

                              Rhythm sticks provide an inexpensive way to
                              teach children to "keep the beat."
                              One stick is smooth; the other is serrated. Rubbing them together creates a fun scraping sound. Just the right size for
                              little hands -- rub, roll, and tap in many fun ways! Durable and dishwasher safe.

                              Claves are two
                                tuned musical pieces of rosewood  played by 
                              banging together. This instrument is
                                perfect for group play as its sound complements
                                other instruments nicely. The
                                large claves have a deeper, louder sound than
                                the little claves. Small size shown here: Ages 3+ 
                                Large: ages 4+

                              while developing motor skills and basic music
                              harmony. It has collapsible legs and
                              comes with a case and two mallets. Length: 16 inches    Weight: 1.4 kg
