Description
This wooden-handled rattle drum carries two of the Wild Wonders animals: a friendly lion curled round on one face of the drum and a green elephant with a red saddle cloth on the other. A woven orange band runs around the rim, and two red cords tipped with round orange beads hang from either side. The drum and the lower part of the handle are painted a soft turquoise, with natural wood showing where the handle meets the drum. It is about 18cm wide, 17cm long and just 3.2cm deep, with a drum head about 7cm across and a handle about 10cm long, and it weighs only 0.05KG.
Playing it is simple: roll the handle back and forth between your palms and the beads swing out to tap each side of the drum head in a quick, cheerful patter. It is a lovely way to get to know sound and rhythm, and the bright animals earn it a place on a playroom shelf or at the top of the toy box when the music stops. With a lion on one side and an elephant on the other, there is always a favourite face to spin towards, which makes it a happy pick for anyone already fond of the Wild Wonders animals.
The drum head is polyester and nylon, the handle is cherry wood, and the beaters are small wooden beads on cotton string. To keep it bright, wipe the painted wood with a soft, slightly damp cloth, dust the drum head with a soft dry cloth and let everything dry fully before it goes back on the shelf. Wrapped with a picture book about animals, it makes a cheerful little gift that is ready to play the moment the paper comes off.
