Homemade Instruments -
Rainmaker
This homemade Rainmaker is a fun way to make lots of noise at a celebration such as New Year's Eve or a birthday - or just for a kitchen band!
You will need:
To make:
Paint your tube and leave to dry. Decorate the tube with sequins and glitter.
Fill the tube about 1/5 full of rice or lentils and glue the lid on securely. If you are using a kitchen foil tube, you will need to cut circles of card or paper and fix them very securely over each end.
Tip the tube from side to side to hear the rice fall.
Marching Drum
No parade could be complete without a marching drum! Here is how your children can make their own.
You will need:
-
Old coffee tin
-
Paint
-
Sequins, stickers, ribbon etc to decorate
-
PVA glue
-
Strong glue
-
Ribbon/cord (to allow the drum to be worn)
Instructions:
Paint the tin and leave to dry. Decorate the drum with stickers, glitter, ribbon and anything else that you fancy.
Make two holes in the tin lid, thread though some cord or ribbon and tie tight knots on the underside of the lid so the cord is secure. With strong glue stick the lid onto the tin.
Wear your drum and march with pride.
If you do not have drum sticks, why not paint and decorate two wooden spoons to use as drum sticks?
