Homemade Musical Instruments

My family, including my husband(!) loved Music Together, but with the costs being so high, I decided to run my own informal music group with two other two-year-olds.

I would love to have wooden egg shakers, but we're just going to fill plastic Easter eggs with rice. And I think we're going to make our own drums with oatmeal containers.

Family Fun and A to Z Homeschooling has some more great ideas on using recyclables to make music! I don't know if I will be brave to do the singing glasses with four children!

Do you have any other ideas?
