Welcome
Music is such a universal connection we all share.
My little ones really enjoy listening to and singing along with music. I decided we should keep busy creating some instruments and learning how to keep a beat.
So here's what we did.
Paper plate guitars
I hot glued a 2 paper plates together and then glued on a paint stir stick.
We added some long elastics and strummed away.
Shakers
This was such a great fine motor activity. The kids put lots of small pieces into a clean water bottle.
When it was full, I hot glued on the lid (to prevent opening in case of choking hazard). We decorated a tube and glued it onto the bottle as a handle. They loved it.
Bells
We created these by stringing some bells and caps onto a pipe cleaner. I then taped them to a small wooden dowel (Dollar Store).
Castanets
I hot glued 2 metal lids onto a piece of folded heavy cardstock.
The kids decorated them and we added a little finger handle on the back.
Microphones
And what would music week be without a microphone.
What fun they had singing and dancing using their microphones.
Always lots of colouring and cutting too!
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
