Drumming helps develop hand-eye coordination, fine and gross motor skills, and control over striking force. The raised stickers on the side provide an added tactile experience, enhancing sensory learning. Through play, children discover cause-and-effect relationships while stimulating creative expression and developing rhythm. Encouraging exploration of sound and cause and effect through tapping play, this beautiful wooden drum invites focused, repetitive play that supports sound discrimination and concentration. As children hold the drum, tap with hands or mallets and listen closely, they build grip control, body awareness and attentive listening skills, all within a calm, music-rich experience. Sustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, and water-based dyes, it is a durable, eco-conscious choice for music corners, group times and spontaneous rhythmic play. 16.6 cm X 16 cm X 6.75 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilds hand-eye coordination, grip control, and attentive listening.\u003cbr\u003eEncourages exploration of sound and cause \u0026amp; effect through tapping play.\u003cbr\u003eSupports sound discrimination and focus through repetitive activity.\u003cbr\u003eSustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, and water-based dyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops hand-eye coordination and grip control as children tap, pat and vary the strength of their drumming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages exploration of sound and clear cause and effect when different strikes create different tones and volumes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports sound discrimination, auditory memory and focus through repeated rhythmic patterns and listening games.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes creative expression, body awareness and confidence as children invent their own beats and musical responses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom \u0026amp; play activity ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the sensory drum in group time to signal transitions, inviting children to copy simple rhythms or respond to \"stop\"  and \"go\"  beats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up a music corner with the drum and a small selection of other percussion instruments for free exploration and sound-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate the drum into movement games where children move slowly, quickly or freeze in response to different drumming patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair the drum with stories and songs, tapping soft background rhythms or encouraging children to add sound effects at key moments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18+ months (recommended; always refer to manufacturer labelling and use under adult supervision)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: 16.6(L) x 6.75(H) x 16(W) cm (16.6 cm X 16 cm X 6.75 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue and water-based dyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse under adult supervision; inspect regularly and remove from use if worn or damaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42939008057457,"sku":"PT5915","price":45.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/pt5915_plantoys-montessori-inspired-wooden-sensory-drum_v1_2.jpg?v=1768371359","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/plantoys-montessori-inspired-wooden-sensory-drum","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
