Recycle, Upcycle – Repurpose!
Isn’t it great to find ways to use items that might be a part of your holiday celebration. Instead of tossing them into the trash, you can turn them into treasure. Well, maybe not treasure, but definitely great kids music crafts that can provide hours of fun while you’re relaxing during or after a wonderful celebration.
Here’s our 4 fav holiday craft re-makes.
Turkey Roasting Pan into A Gong
Seriously, is there a better way to get the whole group together than to bang a gong? Let the kids use the extra turkey roasting pan to create this wonderful Chinese-style gong to mark time at your celebration. Decorate it with your Chinese zodiac animals – the chart of Chinese Zodiac animals is part of this pdf – or just apply pure creativity!

Pie Box Ocean Drum
We love this craft. There’s a cool little window built right in so you can see what’s making the sound of the sea in your ocean drum. This simple craft sounds remarkable and is wonderfully relaxing!

A Beater For Those Drums!
While you’ve got a gong and a hand drum, you might want to make your own easy beaters. Opt for unsharpened pencils or go for a nature walk and find sticks that can create sturdy basic beaters for any drum you may have or make.
