How to use

Supervise play to ensure safe use of the sticks and to guide correct posture and grip for developing motor skills.

Use the drum during short, regular play sessions to build rhythm and coordination gradually. Combine play with songs, clapping and movement activities to enrich early music education. Store the drum and sticks in a dry place and check the strap fastenings regularly for wear.
