Guidecraft Sensory Egg Shakers - Set of 6

They are a set of six egg shaped shakers for children aged 12 months and up. Each naturally coloured egg is filled with a different material, so every one has its own sound and weight. The textured surfaces also invite touch, letting toddlers explore sound, feel and simple cause and effect.

As sensory toys they layer sound, weight and texture into one small, easy to grip shape. Shaking each egg produces a different noise, while the varied weights and surfaces encourage tactile play. Toddlers learn that their own movement makes the sound, which builds early auditory and cause and effect understanding.

Each shaker is made from a durable mix of plastic and Poly+, a composite material made with 30 percent less plastic. This build stands up to years of play both indoors and outdoors, so the eggs cope well with drops, shaking and busy toddler hands.

Each egg measures 7.6 centimetres by 5.7 centimetres, a size that suits small hands learning to grasp and shake. The rounded egg shape is easy for toddlers to pick up, pass between hands and rattle without much effort during play.

The set is made for children aged 12 months and up. Babies and toddlers at this stage enjoy shaking, banging and comparing the different sounds, and the sturdy build means the eggs keep working through plenty of energetic play sessions.

Wipe each egg with a soft, damp cloth and dry it before storing. The sealed shape keeps the filling inside, so there is nothing to open or refill. Avoid soaking the eggs, as gentle surface wiping is enough to keep them fresh between plays.
