drum circle



My daughter likes to attend a drum circle that they have in a park near our home and I thought I'd like to try a drum circle with the littles.  I've been collecting various types of drums from garage sales and thrift stores but I still don't have enough for each of the children in my class -  so this week we made coffee can drums. We used colored masking tape and stickers to decorate them.  I found a DVD to introduce the concept of drum circles before we began.  It's called The Drum Along Drum Circle Video.

Hi Kat~I love using the plastic coffee cans and and wipe containers for drums and wooden spoon for the 'stick'! Please come and link this or another favorite activity to my Abominable Blizzard Linky at www.creativeconnectionsforkids.com.
