Coffee Can Drum

Coffee Can Drum

Materials

• Empty coffee can with 2 plastic lids
• Contact paper or your child's artwork
• Glue
• Pencil
• Empty thread spool

Directions

1. You can create a drum for your child by cutting the bottom out of a coffee can and covering the can with contact paper (or letting your child draw a picture on some paper and gluing it around the can).
2. Glue plastic lids on each end of the can.
3. Create a drumstick by gluing the lead end of a pencil into the hole of an empty thread spool.
4. For a variation, an empty paper towel roll and an empty oatmeal box will make a soft but authentic drum for your toddler.
