What age range are your instruments and bundles designed for?Our collection is curated especially for early-years music-making. The “Baby Bag” is a gentle introduction for babies up to about 24 months, while the “Toddler Bag” is sized for roughly 2- to 4-year-olds. Individual instruments such as egg shakers, maracas, clatterpillars and monkey drums are light, easy to grip and safe for most children up to six, provided an adult is supervising.

What exactly comes inside the Baby Bag and the Toddler Bag?Baby Bag – a squeezy heart shaker, a small maraca and a small, hand-painted egg shaker. Toddler Bag – a bento shaker, a large maraca and a large, beautifully painted egg shaker. These pre-packed sets let little ones explore three contrasting sounds straight out of the bag.
