Introducing the Drums for Schools egg shaker basket – 12 eggs
This beautifully curated egg shaker set is the perfect addition to any early years or primary music setting. Combining sensory play, rhythm development, and cultural storytelling, the Drums for Schools Egg Shaker Basket offers a complete, hands-on musical experience for young learners.
Each of the 12 wooden eggs is hand-engraved with traditional Balinese designs, taken from children’s artwork, and carved into sustainable mahogany. The eggs vary in size to provide a range of tactile and sonic experiences – from small, high-pitched shakers to large, lower-pitched ones – all stored neatly in a sturdy natural bamboo basket.
Ideal for group work, exploration or guided music sessions, the set also includes innovative educational music cards. These offer non-specialists simple, engaging lesson ideas to build rhythm skills and creativity, along with background information and best practice guidance.
A tactile, sustainable collection
The egg shakers are made from smooth, solid mahogany – a sustainable wood sourced with environmental responsibility in mind. They’re pleasing to hold and beautifully finished, with natural grain and engraved decoration that makes each egg unique. The range of sizes introduces young learners to differences in sound and feel while reinforcing rhythm through movement.
Thoughtfully supported for teaching
This set is not just a collection of instruments – it’s also a flexible teaching tool. annA rydeR’s Music Cards provide ten engaging ideas for music sessions, ideal for teachers with or without musical training. From call-and-response activities to rhythm games and creative play, the Egg Basket supports rich learning opportunities with minimal setup.
Designed for early years exploration
Each egg is safe, solid, and built for active exploration – whether used in group activities, individual discovery, or teacher-led games. The tactile quality of the wood encourages gentle handling and a connection with natural materials. The included “Where it’s from” card and “Good Practice Guide” round out a package that is musical, educational and culturally respectful.
