Little Hands Basket - 15 Instruments

A fabulous collection of 15 tactile musical instruments specially designed for Early Years settings. The instruments are all made from natural, sustainable materials and produce a very wide range of different sounds. Also includes expert teaching support and a sturdy bamboo storage basket.

These are real musical instruments (just the same as professional versions but scaled down for little hands), not toys, and will delight and stimulate the youngest of young musicians.

The instruments' varied natural textures and sounds provide grounded sensory stimulation, and the different playing methods develop  hand and eye coordination and a range of fine and gross motor skills. The wide range and mix of instruments encourages interaction, sorting, game playing, story-telling, taking out and putting away, and all manner of verbal and non-verbal communication. This Little Hands Basket really will inspire your children's creativity in so many ways.

The collection includes our Good Practice Guide for early Years settings and  a 16 page Activity Guide, written for non-musicians and full of practical and creative musical activities for young children. You can see the full text of these supporting materials by clicking on the images to the left.
