Remo Lollipop Drum
(Remo $11.95)
Preschoolers can easily hold onto the handle of this lollipop-shaped drum. Makes a pleasing sound, according to both kid and parent testers. Unlike so many toy drums that break quickly and sound like nothing before they tear, this one is sturdy, eye appealing and sounds good, too. Adaptation: For kids who can't grasp the handle, tape the handle to a tabletop with drum head hanging off. SNAP Activity: One person hits the drum and the other person must change positions with every beat. When you are moving, use exaggerated goofy motions and freeze into funny poses. Switch roles-kids love the power of making you move.
Ages: Preschoolers, Early School
