Tin drum

You will need:

• An empty tin
• Holographic sticky-backed plastic or paper, and clear sticky-backed plastic
• Stickers or washable colouring pens, pencils or crayons to decorate
• Sticky tape
• Old drumsticks, chopsticks or pencils. Top tip – drumstick tips do break so you may find a friendly drummer can supply you with old ones
• Earplugs

How to make a drum:

• Seal the tin with sticky tape.
• Either decorate it with holographic sticky-backed plastic and allow the children to add stickers or get the children to colour in and decorate some paper and stick it to the drum with clear sticky-backed plastic.
• Provide sticks to bang it with and insert earplugs accordingly!
