Homemade Instruments
I had a jam with my 2 year old with some homemade instruments. You can use anything found in the home, that’s half the fun! Children learn the value of upcycling and unlocking potential in found things.
✅ Creativity
✅ Experimentation
✅ Coordination
✅ Bonding
✅ Rhythm.. and just having a jolly good bash to release some energy!
