8" Rhythm Sticks

The ridged stick gives a wonderfully different sound from the smooth one, which my 2-year-old loves to explore. They’re sturdy enough to handle enthusiastic banging without splintering.

My toddler grabbed these immediately and started tapping them together — the smooth versus ridged textures keep her entertained for way longer than I expected. They're solid hickory, so they feel sturdy, though I wish they came with a little storage bag to keep them from rolling around the toy bin.

The ridged stick gives a nice texture contrast that my daughter finds fascinating, and the hickory feels sturdy enough for her enthusiastic banging. She’s 2 and can grip them easily, though I wish they came with a little storage pouch to keep them from rolling under the couch.
