For glow sticks, we used the short fat kind like these that are designed to go on a string to wear as a necklace. They are sturdy and perfect for drumming unlike the bracelet type glow sticks.

Glow Stick Drumming {Music Activities for Kids}
The boys usually enjoy having glow sticks in the bathtub with them and one night, I thought it would be fun to start using them as drumsticks on some of the plastic containers in the tub. Turns out, it was an awesome idea.
We also tried this activity outside of the bathtub with a variety of different buckets. We used two ice cream pails, some big yogurt containers, and some individual applesauce containers. Pans would work too, but would be much noisier, so choose accordingly.

Fun!!!! I'll have to get some thicker glow sticks to do this with. We usually have the bracelets around the house. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the bracelets would work, but the thicker ones are definitely good at making some noise!
DeleteThis looks super cool! My guy would love this. What a great way to explore music and play at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My boys (and me too!) loved it. Hope your little guy enjoys it as well.
DeleteThis looks so fun! Cool pics too! I think my 3 year old and 11 month old would both enjoy this!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The pictures didn't turn out as I had hoped. I had my camera on the wrong setting. Oops!
DeleteAnd I think any kid who is into banging spoons or pots and pans would totally LOVE this!
