- Age Guideline: 5 Years and Up
- Time Required: 15 minutes (Does not include drying time)
The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.
Materials Needed:
- Oatmeal Box or any Can with Lid
- Paper Bag
- Construction Paper
- Crayons, Markers, or Paint
- Cellophane Tape or Craft Glue
- Rubber Band
- Scissors
Instructions:
Cut a piece of construction paper to fit around the can so that it is completely covered. Draw or paint different designs and shapes on it, and then tape or glue it onto can.
Cut a circle out of the paper bag, about an 2-inches bigger than the can lid. Crumple up your circle and roll it around in your hands to soften and wrinkle it so it looks like old leather. Put the lid on the can and squeeze a few drops of glue onto the lid. Flatten out your paper bag circle and center it over the lid. Hold it in place while you secure it with a rubber band.
Your drum is now done!
