Did you have a garage band when you were younger?  Loud noises that sounded like music and some noises that were actually music?

Take that moment of music creativity and start it early with your children.  Stimulate their imagination and create a Kitchen Band! Try these "instruments" and see what songs come from your own little Beethoven's:

• Drums - Pots of all depths create different sounds and wooden spoons instantly become drumsticks.
• Cymballs - Empty pie tins can be clapped together to accompany the drummer.
• Maracas - tupperware with dry beans or macaroni inside.
• Microphone - use a ladle, egg beater, wooden spoon.

Take and familiar song like Twinkle, Twinkle or Old MacDonald and try to time out the beats as they sing.

Rock on Mommies and Daddies!
