Easy as Pie

A simple aluminum pie pan becomes a festive tambourine with the help of pipe cleaners and bells. Mini pie pans are just the right size for baby hands and baby will love listening to the metallic, tinkling sounds. Experiment with adding small beads or uncooked rice inside your tambourine for extra effect.

What songs do you like to sing and play along to with your baby?
