Instruments from rubbish

Children make shakers, drums and guitars from bottles, boxes and elastic bands.

Steps

1. Show that you can make something new out of rubbish.
2. Children pour rice or grains into bottles (shakers) and stretch elastic bands over boxes (guitars).
3. They decorate the instruments with tape and stickers.
4. Form an orchestra and play a well-known song.

Tip: Ask parents for clean bottles, boxes and tins with smooth edges.
