Homemade Drums


- Plastic or metal container – coffee can, oatmeal container, hot coco container, etc
- Paper – pre-cut to wrap the container – we used legal size printer paper
- Tape – duct tape, electrical tape, and washi tape to cover the seams and to hold it together
- Crayons, water color paint, stickers, etc – anything you want to decorate with
I always find it is easiest to have each child crafting on a cookie sheet. Each cookie sheet had the paper, crayons, and water colors on it for them to decorate with. The kids often need help sealing the paper with tape, so adults you may want to assist with that!Once you have made your drums, hop over to our YouTube channel and find a song to play along to! Or, join one of our Livestream Sprouts Classes (for a small donation) and use them to make music with us! We hope you try this with your family and have fun making music together! Show us your DRUMS when you are done! Post to our wall, share on a post, or send them privately to Jaime. We are giving away $5 Gift Certificates to the families who participate along with us!
