Music Makers

Here is a great way to stay indoors and keep your children occupied.

Try a homemade band

First go find some earplugs

Then have your children make their own instruments.

Send your kids on a scavenger hunt around the house for items that make different and unique sounds. Make sure you give them instructions not to use anything breakable or expensive.

Here are some items to use:

· Pots and pans

· Empty cans or containers

· Plastic eggs filled with different items (rice, jelly beans etc.)

· Filling any container with different objects can give you different sounds

Then let your children start jamming out. You can even teach a science lesson by asking them questions about why different items make different sounds.
