Two days before Christmas, while cramming in some last minute shopping in the big city, I stumbled upon a Lakeshore Learning store. I wound up knocking out most of my kid-related shopping there. I love that place.
2 wrist and ankle bells
2 pairs of sand blocks
2 sets of finger cymbals
2 sets of maracas
1 bongo drum
1 jingle clog
1 Chino tone block
1 guiro tone block
1 tick-tock block
1 hand bell and cluster bells
1 pair of claves
2 pairs of cymbals
5 pairs of rhythm sticks
I didn’t even know what half of those things were…but I did know my four punks would have a blast creating their own noise band together.
And boy, have they ever. Fortunately, my organized and regimented ten-year-old daughter (she’s the only regimented child in the family) keeps the instruments in order, lines them up in a neat line, and helps her brothers make sense of all the different sounds the instruments make.
But I’ll remember this 48 hours forever.
And so will my eardrums.
For those of you who might like to introduce this craziness to your household, I’m giving away three (3) of these 30-player Rhythm Sets from Lakeshore Learning.
To enter the giveaway, just answer the following question in the Comments section of this post:
“How many punks do you have in your house?”
Whether you have zero or twelve (or more—I don’t want to discriminate), you’re free to enter. Winners will be chosen at random and announced Friday.
NOTE: Repeating the Tasty Kitchen mixer giveaway, for every entry received in this giveaway, I will donate one dime (10 cents) to Haiti recovery efforts. I’ll announce the total raised and where we’ll send the funds when the winners are announced tomorrow.
