I stopped at Target this evening to pick up a couple of things and could not resist taking a peek at the $ section. I was excited to see a bunch of $1 and $3 toy instruments. Now, I would never use these during a lesson but for my Maestro of the Month backpack they would be great additions. I didn't pick up any just yet because I want to look in the backpack and see what I need but I won't wait too long because I'm sure they will get picked over. What I remember seeing are:
Egg Shakers
Whistles
Tambourines
Jingle Bells
I know there were more, I just can't remember now. This would be a great way to create a reward backpack for your students.
I would love to know more about your Maestro of the Month Backpack!!! Is it a bag of fun that goes home with a family each month? (Is there only one?) What else is inside? I love this idea!
