I'm just going to leave this here:

Send them on over to me when your done : )
It's just a shaker man. Usually they look like eggs.
[Goat Toes] (http://www.amazon.com/Goat-Toe-Rattle-U%C3%B1as-Bracelet/dp/B003ZJKUVM)
Africa themed show during the percussion break.
An Egg Shaker. Seriously, easiest way to get unique shakes and rhythm is just do them yourself instead of clicking them in in your DAW
It looks like this maybe?
This might be what you're looking for.
Those are goat claws! Kind of hard to get now, I hear. I picked up a ring of them at some drum shop years ago. Great sound on the hi-hats, and it adds some nice "crunch" when you play the hats with the foot.
This is a little less authentic than what's in the video, but it's a start and will get you to a similar place - http://www.steveweissmusic.com/product/meinl-foot-rattle/percussion-shakers
EDIT: Apparently they're called "chapchas!"

This helps dry up the Hi-Hats significantly https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GG9QZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BmH-Ab1XBS8VC
Hate to break it to you, but these fruit-shaped shakers are extremely common, you'll find them in just about every music store.
with the banana? that's a banana shaker: http://www.amazon.com/musical-instruments/dp/B0076MGS6U
During this stage, I used "treasure baskets" a lot. I tried to keep one in each room that kiddo spent much time in. And I had basic categories of toys that I kept in each basket.
And “toy” didn’t always have to be a toy in the traditional sense. For a rolling object, we used balls but also used shower puffs. Something soft might be a small stuffed animal, or it might be a fuzzy sock. We let kiddo's interests guide this process. If he found something fascinating and it was safe for him to play with, we put it in a basket. If it wasn’t safe, we tried to find something similar that was safe.
Some of kiddo's favorite toys from this time:
Once he was crawling and becoming interested in the kitchen cabinet, we emptied one cabinet out for him to play with. We put some baby-safe containers and dishes inside, and let him do whatever he wanted.
We really didn’t buy much in the way of toys for this stage. A few hand-me-downs, and a few stuffed animals. Nothing really worth noting.
A headache helper, oh my goodness. I'd freeze mine, since ice packs get wet and messy. Seems this wouldn't!
GOATS! Or goat hoooofs!
My kid is a little over a year old and despite all the expensive toys she got from friends and relatives, these inexpensive egg shakers were THE toy of the season

Oh no! I'm so incredibly sorry! I really really hope you're wrong and your dog turns out to be okay! Pets are NOT allowed to die...ever...but especially when everything else sucks so much. It's just not allowed. (Not that that argument has actually worked for me.)
On a lighter note, our (very serious and somber) fertility ritual involved a giant Reeses peanut butter egg, Cadbury mini eggs, phish food ice cream, goldfish crackers, swedish fish, candles, hats, egg maracas, fertility music, and, of course, hats and champagne (because what ritual is complete without hats and alcohol?) I got the maracas here and the music here. Sherm got the hats, so you'd have to ask her, and the rest was from the grocery store (though some was obviously seasonal).
I'll shake those darned maracas for you, for me, and for anyone else who's unlucky enough to have to hang out here!
you could try something like this, a seed shaker - https://www.amazon.com/Toca-T-SS-Shaker/dp/B000EELEC0
I take the ages they put on the side of the box as a guideline. It's certainly not a hard and fast rule.
My son is turning 1 next month, and I bought him some musical stuff like this and this since he loves the shaker egg
Rhythm. With rhythm/timing, even a novice can sound good with some bum notes and less musical lines. Without it, even "good" players will sound pretty bad.
My tip? Instead of just saying just metronome practice, buy an egg-shaker next time you're at a music shop. Put on some music and see how good you are at just getting the rhythm.
I could always sense the rhythm and feel it, but it wasn't until one of these puppies was put in my hand that I realised just how far out I could be.
Your wish is granted
I really really want some shaky eggs for my crazy kids.
