Having two little ones, sees me getting the crafts out regularly and encouraging them to get creative. This week we are focusing on toddler crafts for my two year old. He loves his music and playing his musical instruments, so as we have plenty of supplies in our craft box, I thought we could do a DIY tambourine paper plate craft. Playing with musical instruments helps toddlers practice rhythm and listening skills.
So let’s get started!
What You Will Need
x2 Paper Plates
Ribbon
Hole Punch
Stickers/paint to decorate
1. Simply put your plates together and use your punch to make four holes.
2. Thread your ribbon through the jingle bell and attach to the plates. Repeat until you have secured all bells to your tambourine.
3. Decorate with stickers or let your little one paint/colour in the plates.
One finished tambourine ready to be played by your mini musician!
Do you like this paper plate craft? Then why not pin for later?

What a lovely idea I would have never thought of making this but will definitely try with my little!
How adorable is this, my daughter has an Easter Parade at her preschool on Thursday and think we will make these as an extra little treat
I love this. So simple and quick but I know my 2 year old grandson would love to play with it. I just need to remember to buy bells.

What a fab idea! I am useless with coming up with craft ideas but I would love try this out with the girls! xx
Simple but fun craft to do: my daughter will love you! Pretty and noisy…
This is such a simple craft but looks like so much fun!
Looks great, very artistic paper plate craft. feels like Ester has arrived early.
I remember making something similar to this at school as a child, although not as nice and without the fancy ribbons and bells. This looks like such a fun craft for children. Have pinned it xx
I would never have thought of using a paper plate and making into a tambourine. Genius! x
How very creative is this DIY, I will definitely be giving it a go with my little niece I think she would love it
Such an easy to do craft. It would be a great activity to do in a birthday party, to use up spare paper plates! 🙂
This is such a great little craft! My boys love music, so they would really enjoy this. I’ll have to give it a go!
Such a cute idea. I actually have all of these things in our craft box so I’ll have a go at these x
What a great easy idea, I’m off to pin this!
That is just a brilliant idea for young kids to do. It’s great that once they’ve made it they can make some music with it too
Ah Izzy would love this craft! I may have to make it with her 🙂 #craftcorner
My eldest was eyeing up my craft stash recently and spotted some little Christmas bells. She’d love to use them in this craft I’m sure.#craftycorner
I was looking for a simple craft project to make with my son this weekend and this looks perfect! Thanks for the inspiration. #craftycorner
