Building musical instruments on your own fascinates many children. In addition, this awakens the spirit of discovery and also makes fun. Promote the creativity of your children as well as the perception by simply looking for a few empty cans with well-closing lids. There are no limits here: from cream cans to medicine cans, from chewing gum cans to film cans.
If you make the cans for smaller children or with crib children, make sure that the children can grab the cans with their fingers.
Find three cans (it can also be more or less!). These should be clean and dry. Then lay out a craft file.
Find a different filling material for each can. So you get different sounds or sounds.
Open the first can and select the first filling material.
Fills a maximum of one third of the can with the filling material.
Attention: Do not fill the cans too full. Few filled cans sound better!
Now screw the lid firmly onto the can.
Tip: If the lid edge is smeared with glue before screwing, it can no longer be opened after closing.
Now the shake can is ready.
Now fill the other two doses and seal or glue them as well.
Now paint the cans as you like.
Have fun playing music!
Sings songs and shakes the rhythm with the cans. This promotes the sense of the beat and the rhythm.
Have fun with the homemade musical instruments!
