We know what you might be thinking. Just what a toddler needs - noisemakers! But the Animal Band Music Kit is cute, fun (for the kids, at least), and educational, which is a hat trick, toy-wise.
Maracas, clackers, and other noisemakers are great for developing coordination and rhythm, and toddlers are generally pretty enthusiastic about making noise. A larger photo, including the carrying case, after the jump.
Ladybug Maracas, Zebra Clapper, Fish Noisemaker, Frog Castanet, and Animal Bells make up the whole band, which comes in a vinyl carrying kit.
Regularly $21.95, but currently on sale for $19.95, the Animal Band Kit is a great way to let your kids blow off a little steam, and if you live in a building with thin walls and aren't fond of your neighbors, you might be able to kill two birds with one stone by encouraging your kids play 'marching band'.

As someone else commented, I am also concerned with chemicals and the safety of my children. Where is this product made I did not see? I don't think they should be bragging about the vinyl bag it is sold in, like it is a "feature".
