Ashley Reviews: Green Tones’ Egg Maracas

If you have been keeping up with my previous reviews, you would know that I have been gradually accumulating a variety of musical instruments.  The latest addition to the family are the Egg Maracas from Green Tones.   The maracas come as a pair, one yellow and one green.   The maracas are made from rubberwood and the targeted age is 2+.

Green Tones’ Egg Maracas

I own several products from the Green Tones line and I felt pretty confident I would really like the maracas as well, but I am very disappointed to report I am not a fan!  The maracas are very quiet.  Even if I shake very vigorously, they barely make much noise.

Check out my video here to sample the sound the maracas produce:

The maracas are tiny for my adult sized hands, but for my little one they are the perfect size.   The finish is very smooth and I feel like the maracas are really good quality (sound aside).   I really wanted to like them, but I wish I put the money I used to purchase these maracas towards the purchase of maracas that sound a lot better.

Would Ashley purchase this again (on a scale of most definitely, yes, maybe and no)? No!

Pros:

• Smooth finish
• Easy for little one to hold

Cons:

• Sound very diluted
