BONGO DRUM
Materials
a popcorn or potato-chip can
an auto tire inner tube
string
scissors
If you don’t have an inner tube, you can gel one al a filling station.
Cut a circle from the old inner tube, larger than the end of your potato-chip can. Take the lid off the can.
Put the rubber circle over the open end of the can. Fasten it with a string tied tightly. If you can stretch the rubber while you tie it on the can, the drum will have a higher pitched sound.
You play bongo drums by slapping them with an open hand and fingers.
Other bongo drums can be made from fruit-juice cans and coffee tins.
