Introduce children to musical traditions from around the world with this pair of natural caxixi rattles from Awe & Wonder. Originating in Africa and South America, the caxixi is a traditional percussion instrument featuring a woven basket with a solid base, filled with natural seeds that create distinctive rhythmic sounds when shaken.
Children can explore rhythm, dynamics and musical expression by experimenting with different shaking techniques, producing varied tones as the seeds move against the woven sides or solid base.
Made from cane composite.
Dimensions: 7.5cm W x 4cm H.
Please note: Our musical instruments are NOT toys and should be used with young children under the close supervision of responsible educators and carers to ensure safe and meaningful learning experiences.
EYLF Learning Outcome Connections
Outcome 2.1: Children develop an appreciation of diverse cultures as they explore a traditional percussion instrument originating from Africa and South America.
Outcome 4.4: Children use curiosity and creativity to investigate rhythm, dynamics and different sound qualities through music.
A caxixi is a percussion instrument consisting of a woven closed basket with small particles (seeds or rocks). The round bottom is traditionally cut from a dried gourd or coconut. The caxixi creates sounds from vibrations, like the maraca, it is sounded by shaking. Variations in sound are produced by varying the angle at which the caxixi is shaken, determining whether the contents strike the reed basket (softer sound) or the hard bottom (louder, sharper sound).
