Paper Plate Tamborine
Instructions for making paper plate tamborines to play music.

Materials Needed:
  • 2 Paper Plates
  • Crayons
  • Dried Beans
  • Stapler or Glue
Instructions:
Decorate the paper plates however you want. Put one paper plate on the table, with the right side up. Place the other paper plate on top of the first one, right side down. This will make a gap in the middle. Start stapling the edges together. Leave an opening at the top to slide a handful of dried beans in. Finish stapling it shut. You are now ready to play some music!
