      Use a cylinder shaped oatmeal container for a drum. Cut a sheet of construction paper to fit around it. Have your child decorate the paper with stickers, paints and crayons, and tape the sheet of paper around the box. Create a shaker out of paper plates. Have your child decorate the bottoms of two plates, place a handful of dried kidney beans in between the plates, and staple the plates together along the circumference.

    Create Your Own Building Blocks

    Make an Alphabet Book

    • Your child will love reading the book she created.Liquidlibrary/liquidlibrary/Getty Images

      Write each upper and lower case letter of the alphabet on the top of a standard sized sheet of paper, one letter per sheet. Have your child make a collage of things that start with the letter on each page by drawing pictures or cutting and pasting pictures from magazines and pasting them on the page. Have him decorate the cover of a three ring binder (be sure to list him as the author of the "book" on the cover) and place the pages he created inside. Be sure to read it to him often.
