Baby maracas

 

— a traditional maracas is a “shock-noise” instrument that operates on the principle of a rattle: a rounded container is fixed on the handle, small pebbles or other similar filler is inside. Children's maracas have the same design; they, usually, are smaller in size, often have a characteristic bright design (coloring, an unusual shape of a handle, etc.), but in terms of capabilities they are completely similar to "adult" instruments.
