Craft Kits

Maracas are rattles used as rhythm instuments. They were originally
made from oval-shaped gourds filled with dried seeds. Many other materials
have been used to make rattles, such as hollowed-out wood, clay, and even bones,
to name a few. Our version is made from paper maché, but works just as well.
Have fun making your maracas and enjoy creating your own musical rhythm!
