These unique Guiro Rhythm Sticks offer a fun and versatile introduction to percussion for young children. Featuring one smooth stick and one grooved stick, they can be tapped together like traditional rhythm sticks or used to create a rasping, guiro-style sound by scraping the smooth stick along the grooves. This dual functionality adds texture, variety, and excitement to rhythm-based activities.

Perfectly sized for small hands and made from durable wood, these rhythm sticks support a wide range of musical learning experiences. Whether in a classroom, music group, or home setting, they encourage children to explore sound in both percussive and friction-based ways. Measure 2 x 20cm L. Ages 3yrs+.
