A fabulous collection of 15 tactile musical instruments specially designed for Early Years settings, whether at home or in the Nursery. Some of the instruments are based on established full size favourites – for example the pingpong, bento and pangi shakers, the lightweight animal clacker – others are completely new: the fabulous multi-functional “drumscrapeshaker”, the bamboo mini drum, the bamboo shaker, the beautiful jingle bell, the kenari shaker, the three different sizes of eggs on sticks . . . All of them will delight and stimulate the youngest of young musicians and we think you'll find them hard to resist too. The instruments and basket retail separately for £65 + VAT but the price for the collection is designed to be irresistible - RRP £53.96 + VAT, Schools £37.77 + VAT. That’s 42% discount for schools! Delivery to mainland UK addresses is approx £8.

How to Play it

All the instruments are "pick up and play" - they don't really need any instruction.

The basket comes complete with a copy of our brilliant “Grown-Up’s Guide”, 16 pages of practical and creative musical activities for developing well-balanced young musicians. The Guide has been written especially for non-musicians ad is in three main sections: Exploring Sounds, Making Music and Using the Instruments to Improve Learning. It covers amongst other topics:

Creating Sounds

Sorting Sounds

Talking Sounds

Playing Pictures

Exporing & Building with Rhythms

What Animal is That?

Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales

Echoes

Mixing Rhythms

and the final section shows how music and rhythm can tansform other fields of learning, from counting to phonetics, making them easy and fun to learn.

How it's Made

All our instruments, and the baskets, are made in Bali using natural and local materials. Most are made to our designs in local villages where they create a useful source of income for families and a low stress, clean and safe type of work.The jingle bell is from cast bronze and is made using traditional casting methods by the same artisans who produce Balinese gamelan.

The beautiful and sturdy baskets are woven by hand from bamboo fibres and are traditionally used by Balinese artists, musicians and dancers for carrying their costumes and materials.

Sounds good with ...

All of the "Little Hands" instruments sound well played together but you can have fun experimenting with different subsets of sounds. Try starting a rhythm with one instrument and then add new rhythms on top, one by one. Or start by "sorting" the sounds into high, medium, low or hard and soft (how else can you sort sounds - see the activity in the Grown-Up's Guide?) and then try combining sounds using instruments from within one group and compare this with combining sounds from each of the groups. There are so many possibilities and they all produce different results.

How to look after it

None of the instruments need any special maintenance. Just be careful not to let the basket and contents get damp and don't put it on radiator or anywhere too hot. The instruments are tough but they're still instruments and need to be treated with respect and smaller children should have some supervision.
