I guess I was duped by the photo into thinking I was buying more than one egg shaker, although it does say "single egg shaker." $6.00 for one little egg shaker? My toddler loves it, but next time I would buy the set of 4 for $8.00 offered by another manufacturer. Quite a rip! If black stuff starts oozing out of the crack, I'll really be disappointed!Basic Beat Single Egg Shaker

This is a good little plastic shaker egg. It's a little smaller than I expected (we have a wooden shaker egg that is a bit bigger) but I wouldn't consider it any kind of choking hazard for my one year old. Has a nice, rich shaker sound and feels good in the hand. Nice.

wish they were made of more eco-friendly and obviously non-toxic materials though.......
bought these for my baby....he occasionally mouths them so i wish they were made of better materials....other than that....he loves them....they do what they say they do...and seem durable.

These were smaller than I had expected but that was really a good thing since I was ordering them for my 2-year old.
After attending some music/movement classes and using some egg rhythm shakers there and having fun with them I decided to get some for at home. They're a fun easy way to keep a beat and get a little exercise while doing so, my daughter likes that she can run around and shake them as opposed to having to sit still to play a different type of rhythm instrument that would require more concentration.
They are well-made and sturdy, although as always with children I would suggest supervision, I imagine these little things would definitely break if a child were to walk or stand on it.
For an adult's hand I find them to be rather small, if you wrap your whole hand around it the sound is muffled a bit. The only other option is to hold it between your finger-tips which can be a bit awkward.

I was also 'duped' by the photo. They are selling ONE egg shaker for $6!!! Beware! Who sells one small egg shaker?!

While these shakers are well made and perfectly sized for little hands to make delightful music, they are very small (about the size of a small chicken egg) and failed the toilet tube test - they easily fit inside a toilet tube, thus could be swallowed and choke a young child. The recommendation is for ages 3+, so be sure to select this particular egg shaker for older children who have stopped putting everything in their mouths. I'd suggest 5 years and up as a class pack for elementary aged students and avoid having these in any household with infants and toddlers. Basic Beat Single Egg Shaker

This is for my piano studio. The students are having fun with it as we accompany one another as they play their pieces in a group lesson setting.

Shaker egg
I bought my original "shaker egg" in an esoteric music store somewhere in Maine. It did a galant job of providing rhythm during group sings. Read more

misleading photo My fault for being naive!
I was quite disappointed to find only one egg! The photo was misleading and I am at fault, but I can get 4 of these at my locally owned music store for 2.00 each. Wow.

Would have been nice to have color choice
These egg shakers are a bit smaller than ones I've used in the family music class we attend. They have nice sound, they are easy to hold even for babies (supervised of course). Read more
