Detail 01
Small size
Fits a child's hand and takes little effort to shake. It also means noticeably less volume than a full-size pair.

NinoWood Egg Maracas/Pair Natural Small
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of small wooden egg shakers. Simple, cheap hand percussion for kids' music classes, songwriting demos, and quiet rhythm parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Kids' music classes and group rhythm circles
- Adding a quiet shaker layer to acoustic songs
- Home recording where full-size maracas are too loud
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud stage playing — small shells project very little
- Latin players wanting the crack of full-size maracas
- Anyone needing one shaker; these ship as a pair
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Wood shell
Warmer and less clicky than plastic. Wood dents rather than cracks when dropped, but it will not take moisture well.
Detail 03
Sold as a pair
Play one in each hand for continuous patterns, or split them between two players in a class.
Detail 04
Natural finish
Unpainted wood, so there is no coating to chip, but the surface marks and darkens with handling.
Detail 05
Under $20
Cheap enough to buy a classroom set and treat as consumables when kids are the ones playing them.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Small and mouthable — supervise young children while playing
- 02No bag or case included; they roll off tables
- 03Keep them away from radiators and damp; wood shells dry out and swell
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these safe for toddlers?
The size suits small hands, but they are small enough to put in a mouth. Use them with adult supervision at home or in class.
02How loud are they?
Quiet. They sit comfortably under an acoustic guitar, but they will disappear behind a drum kit or an amplified band.
03Do I get two?
Yes, they ship as a pair. Play one in each hand, or hand one to a second player.
04Wood or plastic — does it matter?
Wood sounds warmer and less clicky, and it handles drops without cracking. Plastic is louder and easier to wipe down between users.
