>Make your own musical instruments.
An upside down pail can be a drum. A shoebox can be a guitar: stretch rubber bands over the opening. A flute can be made from an empty paper towel roll. What else can you make?
These cymbals were made from the can lids from Boy Scout’s popcorn cans. A piece of foam was cut into handle-sized pieces and taped onto the backs of the lids.
Make this a family activity: Each family member makes an instrument to play in the family band.
This activity promotes musical skills and creativity.
