The Joe-Dum
Joseph just finished Unit 3 of his Environment Concept....SOUND. His final project was to come up with his own musical instrument. He had to design it, plan it and make it.
He WANTED to make a steel drum. He googled that and found out that it takes a 10 year apprenticeship to learn how to make a steel drum. But, we did find instruction on how to make a Dudup (DUH-dup). So You Want To Make A Steel Drum?

Joseph decided that he would make several of those and put them together to make a Joe-Dum.
So....Here it is! Ta-Da!



Libby and Caroline used the paint lids to make Bashers.

Oh we are still loving it!
We used it last year also (I didn't buy the full year, I bought a couple of concepts because he was balking at the stuff I had already bought).


Remind me what age you bought?

That is totally something that would thrill my kids!

What's MBTP? I need curriculum ideas.
