Maracas are percussion instruments that belong to the group of instruments called "idiophones." They consist of a hollow sphere 
with a handle that fits easily in one's hand, and they have small beads inside that make noise when the maracas are shaken. Two 
maracas of varying pitch are usually played together, one held in each hand. Maracas were originally made from gourds known as 
"maracas," but they are now usually made from wood.
These maracas come in a set of two. Try putting the bits of paper provided, or small items such as beads or seeds inside. Have 
fun experimenting with different sounds as you change the items or their amounts!

Keep glue away from small children. 
Be careful not to cut your fingers when using scissors.
Be careful not to cut yourself on the edges of the paper.
The maracas are reinforced to an extent, but if you squeeze                     
the handles too tightly they may get crushed. Also if you 
shake them too vigorously the handles may bend or break.

or seeds which are a choking hazard to small children.
Please take care in terms of hygiene if using gravel or seeds. 
Do not use anything heavy.
