music instruments

This week, our one year old class used homemade instruments

to make some sounds to go a long with the music that we played. The first one, was a drum instrument. We used wax paper and a coffee can. We wrapped the wax paper over the coffee can and secured it with a rubbr band. The children enjoyed druming on it and were really getting into it when the music started playing. Another instrument we made was a shaker, with an empty water bottle and some beads with rice. Most of the children enjoyed playing wih it, there were a couple that were not sure about the noise it made. Overall it was a great experience for the group of one year olds to have.
