Music is such an important part of life in general.
It can change a mood, encourage learning, and be a learning tool in itself.
If you are one that has instruments in your home, be grateful for the benefits that they provide.
This week we made aPaper Plate Tambourineand it was so much fun to make adiy musical instruments for kids.
Thisinstrument craft for kidsis fun for toddler, preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade students.
Thismusical instrument craftonly requires a few supplies and beyond that creativity can take over.
It can also use craft supplies that you already have at home.
We chose rainbow like colors, because those are bright and fun.
We decorated the outside of the paper plate first, before turning it into the tambourine.
We cut squares of sticky foam.
I had her peel the back off, because this is a fabulous fine motor skill strengthening activity.
Place beans in the bottom of the folded plate.
Using a hot glue gun, connect the two sides together.
Once the glue is dry, shake the newly created tambourine.
This musical instrument will hold up against even the most aggressive shaker!
