When we learn about music in preschool, I start by telling the children the names of the instruments and how to properly make the sound. I then cover them with a towel or blanket and make the sound underneath it, and the kids guess which instrument I used. If they name it properly, I hand them the instrument and we go on until everyone has one. Another game is to have them cover their eyes, then I play a few instruments in sequence, then have them open their eyes and try to repeat the sequence. We go from there to more active playing and dancing with the instruments, we talk about playing soft and loud, fast and slow, and I let them take turns calling the shots for everyone while marching around the room. They also enjoy playing free form, where anything goes and they can dance and play however they like (as long as they aren't being destructive, of course). For some fun toddler/preschool songs to play in conjunction with these instruments, my kids enjoy Greg and Steve's music, particularly the freeze song from their 'Kids in Motion' album.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the tambourine is always the first to go. The wooden part is fine, but the cover tears. I've reinforced the bottom of it with a circle of tag board and decorated the top with thin, colorful paper to make them last longer. If all else fails, I just take the cover off completely and the kids still enjoy using the circle part, which has yet to break.
The second most common problem is that the black elastic on the clapper will wear out with time and usage. That is an easy fix. I just snip a hair tie, thread it through, and tie it on tightly. The wooden portion is still strong, and I just replace the hair tie as needed.
After seven years, my first pair of maracas has finally succumbed to the toddlers continually smacking them together (which I discourage in favor of shaking), and the handle has come off of the cymbals. I am back to buy a third set.
For normal home usage, this set will probably last quite a while. Encourage your child to shake the maracas, tap the tambourine (not slap or punch), and they will be able to get quite a bit of mileage out of these instruments.
