Today I want to share an Earth Week story with you, as well as ideas for creating your own instruments at home with recycled and natural materials!
If you are in our Sapling Class and want to begin your day with our Good Morning Songs you can find them HERE.
Enjoy this story, The Earth and I, by Frank Asch.There are so many simple ways that we can care for our Earth! One way is by re-purposing items instead of throwing them away or recycling them.
Did you know that you can make your own musical instruments at home with materials from your recycle bin or outdoor space?
My son Warren and I had some fun with this and salvaged oatmeal tubs from our recycle bin and turned them into drums! We also took a walk and gathered sticks to use as drum sticks, but you could also use a wooden spoon or play them with your hands.
Once you find materials for your own drums, join Warren and I for some drumming in the video below. If you need a quick instrument, a Tupperware or cooking pot and a spoon will work just fine for playing along with us!
If you'd like ideas for other instruments to make out of recycled materials check out the ideas at this link.
We'd love to see photos or videos of your drums or any other instruments you make.
Happy Earth Week!
