Tambourine

How we did it:
Materials List
- paper plate (2)
- hole punch
- ribbon
- bells (7)
- stickers (optional)
- markers (optional)
-
First, punch seven holes around your paper plates. (If you can punch through both at once it will be much easier to line up the holes for threading later.) I did this step since it took more strength than my five-year-old had.
-
Next, tie one end of your ribbon through a hole and add a bell. It's easier for kids to thread if you start it for them.
-
Your child can continue threading the ribbon through the plates. Add a bell before moving on to the next hole.
-
Once the ribbon has been threaded all the way around the plate, time the ribbon to the first loop and trim off the excess ribbon.
-
Decorating is always the best part! We used music note stickers and markers.
-
My daughter added some personal touches by drawing a picture of her guitar on the front of the tambourine and of course claiming it with her name across the front.
-
Now time to shake, move, dance, and sing to the beat of your beautiful tambourine!
