Description
This rattle drum carries the monkey from the Animal Band design, a cheerful little fellow happily beating his own drum. He sits on a warm orange-yellow drum head framed by a bright red rim, and two red cords finished with small red beads hang from either side. The wooden handle is left natural near the drum and painted red towards its rounded end. Overall it measures 17cm long, 18cm wide and 3.2cm deep, with a drum head about 7cm across and a handle about 10cm long. At only 0.05KG it is light and easy to hold.
It is a toy made for play, and wonderfully simple to use. Hold the handle upright, twist it back and forth between your palms, and the beads swing out on their cords to strike the drum head, tapping out a quick, lively rhythm. It is a lovely hands-on introduction to making sound and rhythm. It sits happily in a playroom toy box, on a bedroom shelf or among other instruments in a music corner, and the bold red and orange colouring with its friendly monkey makes it as cheerful to look at as it is to play.
The drum head is made from polyester and nylon, the beaters are small wooden beads on cotton string, and the handle is cherry wood, smooth and rounded for an easy grip. To keep it looking bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a slightly damp one, and let it dry fully before putting it away; it is best kept out of water. For a cheerful present, tie a ribbon around the handle and pop it in a gift bag, ready to play the moment it is unwrapped.
