Have a Tambourine Jamboree

What you need:

• small sturdy paper plates with rims
• dried beans
• craft glue
• markers or watercolors
• hole punch
• yarn

What to do:

1. Measure out a couple of tablespoons of beans and place them in the bottom of a paper plate. Glue around the rim of that paper plate.
2. Gently place a second plate on top and press lightly around the rim. Allow time to dry.
3. Use a hole punch to create holes around the rim. Thread pieces of yarn or ribbon through the holes and tie in a knot to further secure and add decoration to the plates.
4. Invite your child to decorate the tambourine.
5. Tap and shake out a simple rhythm, and jam away.
