Paper Plate Tambourines for Kids to Make and Play

Last updated on April 28, 2019 The hooligans had a terrific time making these simple paper plate tambourines. We’re working on our A-Z paper plate crafts collection, and these were perfect for the letter “T”. The decorating process was a lot of fun, and these tambourines really sound great when you jingle and shake them! They’re a great to add to the stash of homemade musical instruments in your toy room or classroom. Pop on over to CBC PARENTS to see how we made them!
