We've got nothing against using wooden spoons for drumming, or plain old hands for that matter. In fact, we've even seen a percussively useful foot or two! But if your child craves a bona fide mallet, these are a snap to make. Click here for instructions on how to make a homemade drum set.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Self-adhesive craft foam
Chopstick or dowel Tape | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: chopsticks, foam | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | For each mallet, draw a narrow triangle (about 7 inches high and 11/2 inches across the bottom) onto self-adhesive craft foam. Cut it out. |
| 2. | Remove the backing and attach the base of the triangle to one end of a chopstick or dowel so that's it's hanging off just slightly. |
| 3. | Now wrap the foam around itself, crescent-roll-style. Place
a thin strip of tape around the center of the roll to help hold
it in place.
