Great fun for babies
My baby LOVES THESE. Bought them for him at 4 months, he still plays with them at 7 months old. Great colour, fun for him. They are plastic, but they are safe, not too noisy, but loud enough. Easy for him to grip and use. Great quality I think. Won't break easily.

A great toy for babies
Lovely quality and not too loud. My little one loves them. They have small handles for small hands so very easy to use.

Good value for money
I bought this after reading reviews saying that these are used in baby sensory groups. They do entertain my 8 month old for brief periods of time, as she likes the sound they make as she shakes them. They are small and lightweight enough for her small hands. There are a number of baby maracas sold online with reviews saying that they are not loud enough. These are certainly loud enough (without being annoyingly loud). Good value for money too. I have taken a star away because I wish that the handle wasn't ridged and was smooth plastic instead. My baby is still at the stage where she gums everything and when she's bitten down on these, on a few occasions, she's hurt her gums. Nothing major, no real injury - she works out the cause for her pain herself, cries for 2 seconds and stops chewing on it, then forgets and does it again later. It's not made me take them away from her play area, but I just supervise her more when she plays with them and stop her from biting on the handles. By no means does this claim to be a baby product though, so can't really criticise them in that sense.

Shake shake shake
Way smaller than I thought they’d be but they’re perfect for little hands. Good shaker noise. Nice brightly coloured

Perfect!
These are smaller than I imagined but the perfect size for my toddler! They’re lovely colours and seem light enough for my little boy to be able to lift and shake. They make a lovely sound which isn’t too loud. I think they’ll be lots of fun and seem good value for money!

Perfect for small babies
These are light so perfect for smaller babies. He especially loves that they’re not too noisy and they’re easy to move around.
