i`m keeping this great idea in mind, i`m going to be an art teacher! but i would maybe think about a small balloon with a wooden stick glued in it, and rice and beans in it (before you put the stick in) it would be safer for small kids (and parents wouldnt be too worried haha)

I made several of these in my early school grades – played with them extensively, and my son and his friends played with mine and loved them and they have never broken – and mine are 45 YEARS OLD ! Seems pretty safe to me – granted if you don’t make them ‘per the instructions’ to be solid, or if your kids would take a hammer to one, then rice or beans would be better for ‘this generation.’

Cute but, this doesn’t seem safe to me, if it breaks.

Nice idea but I think the rice in a plastic cup version would be far safer

I was already quite impressed, but now that I’ve seen the maracas in real I’m REALLY impressed!!
