I found an amazing website that has not only a wealth of ideas of instruments to make, but songs and activities to go along with them. I'm really excited that I found this, because it's given me some good ideas for this project.
Egg shaker: This website had a link to songs to use with the instruments, and I found an excellent one to use with the egg shakers. It will help students learn the body parts, while playing a musical instrument. If we were to do this craft shortly after Easter, I doubt I would have trouble getting donations of plastic eggs. A link to the song can be found here. (http://www.nancymusic.com/PRINThomemade2.htm )
Hoop Drum: excellent tool of introducing Aboriginal Culture into the classroom!
Tambourine: like the hoop drum, this would be an excellent tool to introduce another culture to the classroom.
Sand Blocks: This project would be fairly easy to do with K-2 classes but I'm not sure where I'd get the wood from. Perhaps a parent donation?
