Here's an easy paper project that's fun to do with your kids! (Recycle, recycle!) For a drum even the smallest child can safely and easily play, decorate an empty coffee can with construction paper. (Different size cans produce different sounds, so try a variety.) Empty round oatmeal containers and potato chip tubes work well too. Now wrap 2 empty Scotts paper towel rolls for drumsticks and let your toddler go to town. They're not as annoying as the expensive sets at the toy store.
