TAMBOURINE
For these very simple tambourines you will need 2 sturdy paper plates for each tambourine you want to make, and some beans, rice or pebbles.
First have the children decorate the bottoms of the plates. They can color them glue on some pictures or paint them. Then place some beans into the bottom plate and invert the second plate over the first and glue the edges together. (I have used tape when the children wanted to use them right away.)
To make them even more fun to use hole punch around the edges and tie some curly ribbon into sides of the tambourine.
