Large Set - Little Hands Basket - 15 Piece Set

The Little Hands Basket is a thoughtfully curated set of 15 natural musical instruments, created with younger learners in mind. Every item has been chosen to offer early years children real, hands-on music-making experiences—not just noisy toys. These are proper instruments that look, feel and sound inspiring.

From clackers to chime bars, mini djembes to egg shakers on sticks, the set includes a fantastic variety of tones and textures. You’ll also find more unusual pieces like the drum-scrape-shaker and the kenari shaker, alongside familiar favourites like jingle bells and wind chimes. Each piece is tactile, robust and made from sustainable materials. Perfect for busy EYFS classrooms, or music corners.

But it’s not just about the instruments. This set includes a detailed 16-page activity guide (written for non-musicians), filled with practical ideas that link rhythm to phonics, storytelling and counting. There’s also a Good Practice Guide and Taking Care Card, making it a great option for settings wanting to embed music across the curriculum.

Whether you’re clapping along with a rhyme or layering rhythms, this set makes musical learning easy, inclusive, and joyful.
