The Painted Bamboo Rainstick Kit is a stunning collection of 10 hand-crafted rainsticks, each measuring 15cm and made from traditional cactus and bamboo materials originating from the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. Despite coming from one of the driest places on Earth, these unique instruments create the mesmerising sound of a tropical rainstorm when turned over—thanks to the maze of cactus needles inside that guide small pebbles gently down the length of the stick. The soft, cascading sound they produce is perfect for sensory exploration, relaxation, and rhythmic expression.
Each rainstick in this set features a vibrantly painted bamboo exterior, supplied in assorted colours at random, adding a beautiful visual element to their auditory appeal. The included storage basket makes it easy to organise and transport the instruments, keeping the classroom tidy and ensuring the rainsticks are always ready for group play or calming activities. Ideal for children aged 3+ years, this set is an excellent resource for group sessions in music, mindfulness, and cultural education, while also supporting sensory regulation and auditory learning.
