Hand-made Musical Drums for Young Children

Welcome to our new Friends at Playgroup today!

We all had a great time running about to the beat of our tiny hand drums (also known as Mott's fruit cups), and later listening to Hands, Hands, Fingers, Thumbs  with Vivian.

If you're living in the province of Quebec then Coaticook's ice-cream containers (a yummy preservative free ice-cream) make great drums for 0 to 5 year olds.

Punch two holes near the top of the container (on either side to add ribbon after decorating).  Paint the container and lid with your favourite children's paints, or paper mache with odds and ends of scrap paper from home and finish off with a coat of 'Modge Podge' - a white glue like-substance that dries semi-matt.
