Classic World wooden castanets – two small, smooth castanets for a warm sound and first rhythms.

These wooden castanets are a perfect first instrument. The set has two castanets of quality wood with a warm, pleasant sound. Simple yet engaging, they're a great way to introduce little ones to rhythm and sound. Playing builds hearing, hand-eye coordination and touch. Sized for small hands, they're carefully polished, burr-free and smooth, with a recess in the shell for a firm grip. A strong string holds the halves together. Safe and eco-friendly. Size: 5.8 × 4.6 cm. From 3 years.
