Create a Sound That Carries Meaning
This Turtle Shell Rattle Kit offers more than a craft—it’s an experience rooted in rhythm, intention, and hands-on creation.
Each kit thoughtfully includes a 4–6″ natural turtle shell, alder stick handle, rawhide strips, sinew, and a darning needle, giving you everything needed to assemble a traditional-inspired rattle with care and purpose. Simply add small found or chosen pieces to create the unique sound that speaks to you.
Designed to be accessible for beginners and meaningful for experienced makers, this kit invites creativity while teaching patience, fine motor skills, and respect for materials. With proper supervision, children can safely participate, making it a powerful bonding activity for families, classrooms, and mentorship settings.
✨ Why attendees love this Workshop:
Encourages mindfulness, creativity, and hands-on learning
A meaningful alternative to disposable crafts
Each rattle becomes one-of-a-kind—no two ever sound the same
Ideal for gifts, cultural education, art mentorship, or personal practice
Whether you’re creating with intention, teaching through making, or gifting something that carries depth and care, this Turtle Shell Rattle Kit is an invitation to slow down, listen, and create something lasting.
