Maracas are percussion instruments that belong to the group of instruments called "idiophones." They consist of a hollow sphere
with a handle that fits easily in one's hand, and they have small beads inside that make noise when the maracas are shaken. Two
maracas of varying pitch are usually played together, one held in each hand. Maracas were originally made from gourds known as
"maracas," but they are now usually made from wood.
These maracas come in a set of two. Try putting the bits of paper provided, or small items such as beads or seeds inside. Have
fun experimenting with different sounds as you change the items or their amounts!
