Hi {firstname},
Monday June 21st is Make Music Day. All over the world, this is celebrated with free concerts and other events, from Italy to Australia, from Brazil to Nigeria, and in many other countries.
As a proof that you don't need costly instruments to make music, see what can be done with a simple tree leaf.
It's easy to make musical instruments from recycled materials. In this new video, I show how to make maracas from an egg carton.
These maracas are light and easy to manipulate for young children. They can be used to teach about rhythm and about playing music together as a group.
But don't limit yourself to maracas. There are plenty of other percussion instruments on the Animaplates website. See for yourself!

Because you are a Pro
As promised, we published an original version of the play The Three Little Pigs. In addition to the little pigs and the big bad wolf, there is a farmer in this version.
I have not published the farmer puppet yet, but kids can create that character using the same technique as for the other puppets.
