Everyday household items can make a really great sounding family band! Spoons, a cheese grater with the back of a spoon rubbing the sharp edges, a jar of rice, the bottom of a large (empty) wastebasket- you've got a recycled percussion ensemble! If you need more ideas along this line, watch the video "Stomp Out Loud"

Sometimes I end my school year doing recycled percussion, in hopes of creating a monster of musical mayhem all summer!
