To go with our Musical Instruments Theme I helped Xander make some musical instruments of his own.
For the first one I gave Xander some paper plates and some paint. I am so excited I found an outside table for crafts! He really loves painting but doesn't always keep it where it goes.
He got a little too excited with the paintbrush.
Then put popcorn inside and glued the plates together. I used tape for an extra level of security. Staples probably would have worked better, but I was worried about him scratching himself. The end product is in the picture at the top.
For a second one I gave him some paper cups and some stickers.
Fun for stacking.
Then I put more popcorn inside and taped them together. Made a great little shaker. For the third one I used clear cups and my rainbow rice and some clear duct tape.
Fun and simple ideas! I've made paper plate tambourines similar to these before. I glued them together, then punched some holes and tied them together for added security. The cup idea I haven't tried - I'll give it a go with my daycare kids soon. :)
