Musical Instruments
Recycled Music !
Music is a big deal in our house, my son can make anything into a drum or guitar, his favorite being the toilet ( lid down) and the mop. Today we made 3 different shakers using things from our recycle bin and pantry.
1. Gather your materials. You will need some empty boxes, tins or jars from your recycle bin, some tape and various dried foods like beans, quinoa , pasta etc...
Egg Shaker Rings
What I love about this craft is that you don't have to celebrate Easter to get into the action, it works for all kids. What kids love about this craft is that it makes noise... I mean music...
1. Gather your materials. You will need some plastic Easter eggs, make sure they have holes in each end. Pipe cleaners and rice. You may want some tape too.
