This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

You'll need to allow extra time for glue or paint to dry.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Music skills include: singing or playing instruments, dancing and moving, appreciating different styles of music, and understanding concepts like rhythm and dynamics.

Ages: 4-6

Materials

Bubble Guppies decorative stickers
Two plastic plates
1 cup dry pasta (macaroni or penne)
Craft glue
Hole punch
String or yarn
Bells (optional)
Paint (optional)

Directions

Step 1
Print out the Bubble Guppies decorative stickers and cut them out.
Step 2
Place one plate on your work surface and pour the dry pasta onto the plate.
Step 3
Glue around the edges of the plate, covering the entire rim with glue. Place the second plate on top of the first and hold it in place. Allow the glue to dry. For extra hold, once the plates are glued together, punch holes around the rim and lace yarn or string through the holes. You can also add bells to the tambourine by connecting the bells to the string or yarn before lacing it through the holes (as shown in photo).
Step 4
Kids can paint the paper plates and decorate the tambourine using the Bubble Guppies stickers. The tambourine is complete! Now your kids can get shaking with their music making!
