The Classic World EDU strap bells – five bells that ring with every move.

This bell instrument, also known as Turkish or Janissary bells, is a great toy to start a musical journey. Five bells are fixed to a leather strap and ring merrily when shaken. The handle is wooden. The instrument is designed mainly for younger children and is a great addition to rhythm classes in preschool and early education. It builds dexterity and listening skills and strengthens a natural sense of rhythm. Wooden parts are finished with non-toxic paints, with no sharp edges. From 3 years.

What your child develops

• Sense of rhythm. Shaking on the beat.
• Listening. Hearing and copying.

How to play
