How to Make a Drum

How to Make a Drum

Did you know that you can make a drum? It's fun and easy to do. Just follow the steps in this book.

What You Will Need: an empty cardboard tube scissors (plus an adult to use them) two balloons two rubber bands construction paper tape crayons, markers, or paint two pencils with eraser tops (for drumsticks)

You should have an adult nearby to help you. You will start with a tube made out of cardboard. An empty oatmeal box works well.

First, take the top off the empty oatmeal box. Have the adult help punch or cut out the bottom. You should now have a tube that is open at both ends.

Next, cover the outside of the drum with construction paper. Use tape to hold the construction paper in place.
