Baby Maraca Rattle Set of 2

The Baby Maraca Rattle Set of 2 brings together two beautifully designed first instruments - the Maraca Wand and the Ring Maraca - to support calm, curious and joyful early learning from birth. The Maraca Wand is perfect for baby's grip, offering a safe and engaging first instrument for little hands. Designed with a flexible stem, it bends gently when baby hits or drops the toy, helping to protect curious hands and faces during enthusiastic play. The two textured balls on both ends provide soft rattling sounds that help develop both the sense of touch and hearing, inviting babies to shake, squeeze, roll and explore. As they grasp and move the wand, babies discover different textures and gentle vibrations, supporting early sensory awareness, fine motor development and sound discrimination, laying the foundations for auditory and musical skills. The Ring Maraca is also perfect for baby's grip, offering a flexible, squishy ring that is safe for babies to hit and drop as they explore sound and movement. The rings make a gentle rattling sound while shaking which help enhance the sense of hearing and fine motor skill, allowing children to discover and explore their environment through different textures and early musical experiences. With its baby-friendly size, the Ring Maraca is easy for tiny hands to hold, turn and transfer from one hand to the other, helping build coordination and strength. Both rattles support discovery learning as babies notice how their actions create sounds and movement, becoming more aware of and engaged with their environment. Compact, lightweight and easy to hold, they are ideal for tummy time, floor play, prams, car seats, baby rooms, music baskets and sensory play collections from birth onwards.

Set includes:

• 1 x Maraca Wand with flexible stem and two textured rattling balls designed for safe gripping, hitting and dropping.
• 1 x Ring Maraca with flexible, squishy ring and gentle rattling rings that provide gentle sound feedback

Educational benefits

• Supports fine motor development and hand-eye coordination as babies grasp, shake, pass, roll and turn the wand and ring between their hands.
• Encourages discovery learning and simple cause and effect as children learn that their movements change the sounds, rhythm and direction of each maraca.

Classroom ideas

• Include both rattles in a baby or toddler music basket for gentle sound exploration during group singing, rhyme time or music and movement sessions.
• Use during tummy time or floor play to encourage reaching, rolling and visual tracking as babies follow the maracas' movement, texture and sound.
• Introduce simple descriptive language such as "shake" , "soft" , "loud" , "quiet" , "fast"  and "slow"  while children experiment with different ways of playing.
