Bracelet Shaker - Bento

The ‘Bracelet Shaker - Bento’ is a big hit with all ages and are also great for many people with special needs. They are also really good for dance of all types.

The wrist band is comfortable, padded cotton and the sounds are as natural as the materials used.

There are two other types; ‘Bracelet Shaker - Kenari’ and ‘Bracelet Shaker - Pangi’. This one (‘Bracelet Shaker - Bento’) has a fairly loud woody sound.

We have included two of these in our ‘Lots of Littles Kit - 60 instruments’ collection.

This bracelet shaker can help with all aspects of EY development, including:

Sensory and/or physical needs
Opportunities to control eye foot co-ordination!
Using all limbs to create sound and even rhythms [for more advanced challenges]
Can you shake your foot in the rhythm pause?
Can you shake both feet in the pause?
Can you shake one foot in one pause and the other foot in the other pause?
Wearable instruments create limitless opportunities for fun, participation AND add massive value to motor control experiences.

Social, emotional and mental health
Do call and response with feet only, one foot only, one foot and one hand?
Involving all body extremities in making sound and music is challenging, satisfying, surprising and fulfilling.

Communication and interaction
If mobility is limited to specific limbs, you can still participate. These wearables are a great way in to music making and sound-play.

Cognition and learning
Inspires activity and action in larger leg muscles when worn on ankles. This type of muscular activity, particularly lengthening, can help relieve learning stress by aiding loosening of the muscles related to the 'fight or flight' stress mechanism.
