Arts and Crafts - Making Homemade Drums
Looking for a great activity to do with your kids? How about making drums with your children. This is a great arts and crafts activity to do with your kids, and afterwords you and your kids can march around the house with the marching band.
To make drums and shakers all you need is an oatmeal container, or any snack container you can find. Open one end of your container, and put beans and rice inside your container. Also consider using beads and pebbles. Please, make sure to use hot glue of tape to secure any spills or choking hazards, and by all means, have an adult supervise at all times when making homemade toys. Very important, and NOTE! Avoid using kidney beans as they can be DANGEROUS if consumed uncooked.
Decorate your drums and shakers with wrapping paper. Cut your paper to fit and cover your entire container with packing tape. If having your toddler, preschool or school aged child construct their instruments decorate with stamps, stickers, and color or paint them before covering with contact paper, or packaging tape.
Fun activities for homemade instruments would include shaking them at various speeds. Roll your container between your hands and on the floor for different sounds. Use your hands or an object like a wooden spoon to hit or strike your instruments. Also, you and your child can have fun with your homemade instruments by dancing and shaking these instruments.
Benefits for your homemade drums are in further development of gross and fine motor movement and skills, and visual discrimination learning about sizes. In other words, these are developmental and educational benefits in this arts and crafts activity. Besides, it`s fun.
