Bring the Rhythm Home!

Form a Rhythm Band
If it's your turn for play group, if you're having a birthday party, or if you just find yourself with a houseful of kids on a rainy day, form a rhythm band. Keep the beat to the songs on your favorite CD (The beat and rhythm section from Make Way for Music CD is a particularly good one for this) or make your own music.
  • Rhythm Sticks: Nothing works better than two wooden spoons.
  • Tom Toms: Decorate an empty oatmeal box or nut can, etc and drum away.
  • Tambourine: Staple two paper plates together with beans inside, hang ribbons as streamers for pizzazz.
  • Sandblocks: Glue a square of sandpaper to the side of an empty juice box or small block of wood. Rub two together to make a rhythmic swishing sound.
