I had gotten other rhythm sticks which I quickly got rid of because these are much better quality and last longer. I have had a set for a long time and they haven't chipped or anything yet. I have since bought several more so we have enough for 8/10 kids.

This is such a fun instrument for children you d and old. It is a great way to incorporate music and rhythm without paying a lot for instruments. We sing and tap our rhythm sticks to lots of songs!
