It's Music Time!

Isn't it great how something so simple can make children so happy?

Today at school, J.R made a shaker from two coffee cups, some macaroni and sticky tape. She absolutely loves it, so I thought we'd make some more instruments using bits and pieces we've kept in our craft boxes.

We got our ideas from 9 Easy To Make Musical Instruments For Kids.

A page from Kinderart.com, which is essentially a website for teachers and homeschoolers in the US, but is packed to the brim with good ideas for filling your child's day with educational activities!

And for the pre-schoolers - like my girls - there's KinderArt Littles. You can find both websites in my new Links section to the left.
