This castanet is very easy for your child to use, BUT, don’t be confused by the term ‘pair’ here…I guess that refers to the two ‘sides’ of the castanet? Because they only send one–as in just a single castanet, not one for each hand! SO, don’t make my mistake, and make sure you order two ‘pairs!’

I use these for teaching music in preschools. The kids absolutely love them.
It’s perfect for hand/eye coordination and they love the click sounds it makes. I love that it’s plastic so it’s difficult to break. It’s a great way to introduce children to a unique instrument and have fun exploring with it.

I bought 6 pairs and I’m happy with them. I’m teaching my daughter (3.3 y.o.) rhythm and she enjoys making sounds with them. (She immediately learned the word, “castanet”, too.) I use castanets for a circle time when I have playgroup/playdate for my daughter.
I have an expensive set of musical instruments as well; but, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to introduce music (rhythm) to toddlers. I take my daughter to a music class and learned that most toddlers enjoy simple musical instruments like castanets.
Even after kids grow up you can still play the “Simon Said” rhythm game using the castanets. They are very affordable and great musical instruments.

My daughter wanted castanets for Christmas and we ordered online – there was no choice in color (I would have preferred pink for her). She got blue ones, she still loves them and plays with them often.
