sound bag or sound kit

Explanation:
I've never heard it used in English but I imagine the tranlsation is quite literal. It's basically a sense-awareness exercise for young students. Using different materials that produce sound, children learn to see, touch and hear in a more hollistic way. I've never seen one in an actual educational resource shop, to my knowledge most are put together by teachers. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much! Google produced many results for "sound bag" when coupled with the word children or school. So your hunch looks right. :)

bag of sounds

Explanation:
Hello,

This is how I've seen it said before. It's just a bag of things that make different noises (used during storytelling, games, etc). Pull a different sound out of the bag.

I hope this helps.

sound sack

Explanation:
It's for learning to read. You put things/objects/cards representing a sound in a sound sack. See the bbc reference. Here, presumably, the children will create their own sound sack, and they need to buy the bag in which to store their sounds.
