I finally got round to finishing our sound cylinders. I’d had half a set completed for a while, but I needed two of each cylinder so we could play a matching game.
These are really easy to make. I used identical recycled containers, filling two with the same object, adding sticky start to make them a bit more attractive! I filled our with things like stones, conkers, bells, water, rice etc and then hot glued the lids back on.
Initially the children explored each sound by shaking the cylinders
We tried to think about what might be making the sounds. The cylinder filled with water was the favourite.
We then tried to find the cylinders that matched.
The children tried really hard trying to match the cylinders. It proved a bit tricky at times though as some of the little ones were just keen to shake the cylinders as loud as they could!
We managed to find some matching pairs though and can explore again another day. 🙂
