Shakers

Shakers are musical instruments that you can shake to make noise. They are often made out of things like seeds, rice, or small beads inside a container like a plastic egg, wooden cylinder, or metal canister.

When you shake the shaker, the seeds, rice, or beads jump around inside and make a rattling sound. This sound can be part of music or used in other ways, like to keep a beat or make a fun noise.

Shakers can come in all different shapes, sizes, and materials. Sometimes they are decorated with bright colors, patterns, or designs.

So, think of a shaker like a fun toy that also makes noise and music!
