How to make a children's toy drum with your own hands

For the harmonious development of children aged one and a half to two and a half years, auditory perception and a sense of rhythm are important. Develop and.

Good afternoon, dear colleagues! I decided to replenish my musical piggy bank with homemade musical instruments. As you know, all items...

Abstract of GCD "Musical Instruments" Musical director: Guys, today we will talk about musical instruments. On earth, everyone has a home. Fine.

Children love music, as well as everything that we adults are ready to classify as noise, including unbearable noise. They bang on pots and pans plastic panels and on the table. We invite you to combine a creativity lesson with satisfying your child’s passion for expressing their musical talents. The site will tell you how to make a drum with your own hands for children's games.

So, to make a drum, you will need:

• coffee tin with plastic cover (prerequisite, for example, you can take it from Nescafe Classic);

• yellow self-adhesive film (can be replaced with colored paper, ideally glossy);

• some thin felt the color of coffee or coffee with milk;

• a bit of crimson felt;

• raspberry thread;

• rubber;

• scissors;

• glue stick;

• transparent glue (such as “Gel Moment”);

• 2 wooden sticks;

• 2 foam plastic balls;

• blue thread.

Making a drum with your own hands:

Remove the lid from the jar and set it aside. We wrap the jar with yellow paper, mark the boundaries for cutting, cut out the desired shape and stick it on the jar.

Using clear glue, “draw” lines diagonally from top to bottom and bottom to top, forming triangles. Do this procedure around the entire perimeter of the future drum. If it’s difficult for you to do this “on the fly,” first draw the lines with a simple pencil, and only then use glue.

Take the raspberry yarn and, following the lines on the side of the drum, apply it to the glue strips, slightly pressing the threads into the glue for better adhesion to the surface of the homemade drum.

Cut the thread when you reach the end.

Cut out a circle from coffee-colored felt: to do this, take the lid, attach it to the felt laid out on the table and trace along the outline. You need to cut a circle, adding 2 cm on each side to the one you drew using the lid.

Close the jar with a lid. Apply clear glue along the lid and along the top edge of the jar close to the lid. Cover the jar now with the cut out circle of coffee felt and put a rubber band on top. Pull gently into different sides felt so that it lies as evenly and tightly as possible.

Cut two strips of raspberry felt about 1 cm wide, equal circle banks. Glue these strips along the bottom of the can and over the elastic that holds the coffee felt in place.

Now it's time to make sticks for the drum.

To do this, take wooden sticks round shape in cross section. Insert each stick into the ball so that it fits only slightly into it, but is held relatively tightly in it and does not come out on the other side.

Now take out the sticks and coat the inside of the hole with transparent glue. Put the sticks back in and leave to dry.

Then cover the balls with a layer of PVA glue and wrap blue thread on top until you cover the ball completely.

Apply a little glue under the ball onto the stick and also wrap them with threads. Cut the thread and smooth it over the glue with your fingers so that they do not become shaggy.

It's important to let it dry completely before playing your homemade drum!

Tips for making your own toy drum:

Before you put the lid on the jar and glue the felt to it, you can make holes along the edges of the jar and insert a cord or ribbon into them to put a homemade drum around your neck.

You can make the drum in a different color.

Be sure to leave the drum to dry overnight or even a day. Otherwise, it may fall apart during the first play - this will be very disappointing...

As you can see, making a drum for a child with your own hands is simple and fun!

Don't know what to do with your child at home? Buy him a drum :). Well, or do it DIY drum from scrap materials. Now I’ll tell you and show you how it turned out for us.

By the way, our drum sounds very pleasant - not too loud, but loud and playful.

So, first we will make drumsticks.

We take Chinese sticks, 2 balls, scissors, plasticine.

Let's stick a plasticine ball onto a stick. Cut off the top and bottom rubber band from the ball.

Wrap the plasticine in a ball and tighten with an elastic band. That's it, the sticks are ready. If the clay is too soft, keep the drumsticks in the freezer. I couldn't think of anything better than plasticine. Maybe you have ideas, please share.

Let's start making a drum. Let's take ceramic pot for flowers and balloon. We had a pot with a diameter of 14 cm - just right. We fill the hole at the bottom of the pot with plasticine.

We cut off the narrow part from the ball, and stretch what is left onto the pot. That's it!

If you can’t find an empty pot, you can use a bowl, but a pot still sounds better.

Now let's test drive both drums.

By the way, not only the little ones liked the drum.

So now you know what to do with your child at home? DRUM!

Get your child used to music from the very beginning small age- great idea! A children's craft for kids in the form of a drum made from a tin can is a simple and easy to implement idea that will introduce your little one to the world of musical instruments.

Almost any child’s fantasy can be realized without high costs or running around children’s goods stores, and hand-made toys will delight kids for a long time.

To make it you will need:

• round tin can
• bright fabric or colored paper
• a piece of skin or leatherette
• laces made of leather or faux leather
• glue gun
• all-purpose fabric glue
• hole punch for leather
• wooden sticks

Manufacturing process:

1. Cut a piece of bright fabric of a suitable size and cover it with it tin can. The fabric can be replaced with variegated colored paper.

2. Place a jar on a piece of leather and outline it. Add 10 cm to the diameter of the jar and draw another circle.

3. Along the radius, use a pencil to mark the places where the holes will be (make an indent of 1 cm from the edge). Use a leather hole punch to make holes.

4. Thread the leather cord through the holes. Pull tightly on one side of the can. Repeat the same for the bottom. Additionally, use a leather cord diagonally, threading it under the lower and upper laces.

5. The last step is the drum sticks. Connect wooden stick and a bead-knob. Glue the cotton ball over the bead without leaving empty seats to make a drumstick.

Joint creative activities open up space for the flight of children's imagination and the development of imagination and thinking. Encourage your child’s desire to create crafts with their own hands - such a pastime promotes all-round development, reinforces many useful skills and simply brings joy.
