The Cabasa is a handheld percussion instrument that creates a crisp, rattling sound when rotated or shaken. It features a textured metal chain wrapped around a ridged cylinder mounted on a smooth wooden handle — perfect for small hands to grip and play.

Used widely in early years music, sensory activities, and therapy sessions, the cabasa encourages rhythmic exploration and provides rich tactile and auditory stimulation. It's an excellent tool for helping young learners develop coordination and an understanding of rhythm in a fun, hands-on way. Measures 7cm d. Ages 3yrs+
