We LOVE making music in our home!! Whether it's beating wooden spoons on pots and pans, making up our own silly songs and dances as we breeze through our day or playing a water glass xylophone we like to keep it funky. In years to come I'm sure my random offbeat singing will be embarrassing but for now...rock on.With Halloween approaching it was a must to make a holiday themed instrument of some kind. And the Jack-O-Lantern Tambourine was born!! Try making up a few of your own at home, dressing up in your favorite costumes and having a musical Halloween parade.
