I bought these for our infant son, and they were a great purchase. The combination of price, durability, and baby-attention-grabbing-and-keeping-and-playing makes these maracas a win. I like that they have good sound--they're plastic, but they don't "sound plastic", if that makes any sense. There's a "weight" to their tone. I also like that they're easy to wipe down, and can just be tossed in his toy box.

I bought these for a percussion box I got for my daughter's preschool. I'm giving them 4 stars because the price just can't be beat. Otherwise they would earn 2 or 3 from me. They are plastic and look very sturdy, but I think (in contrast to what the other reviewer says) have a plastic-y sound. They are a little big for preschool, and in my opinion would be way too big for a baby. They are about 10 inches long with a bulb about the size of an elongated grapefruit. For the size of the bulb, there isn't a lot of "fill" to make noise. I'm sure they will work fine and look like they'll hold up well, but I wouldn't expect much more than a cheap toy from these maracas. Also, not a big deal to me, but mine were blue.

they work great...i thought i was getting a smaller pair, especially for the money, but they're larger. great for big (over 3 or so) kids!

I ordred this item for a Christmas Present I was very pleases how quick I received it.
