Excellent Product!
We used these as a craft for one of our Cub Scout meetings, and it was a huge hit! All that was needed was included, I would reccomend craft glue to add the embellishments though. The boys had a blast customizing their drums!

Need supplies - Kid decorating YES / assembly NO
My Kindergarteners and First-Graders and I really like these little drums for their music learning experience. However they are not projects that youngsters can make themselves in my opinion. Making 24 of them (2 sets) was a bit more time-consuming than expected per the instructions, even for me (47... yrs). It is no easy task to remove the double stick tape from the thin strips to adhere to the 'star' drum head points. After afixing them to the bases, many of the 'star' points popped back up. (Perhaps I pulled the head too tight to get a better sound when sticking down the side points.) So after making all the drums, I had to go back and restick many points then use clear STRAPPING TAPE around the all the drums to hold down the brown 'star' points of the drum head. I tied on the very colorful and bright ribbons that were provided, which covered the clear strapping tape I used, so was a nice decorative touch. After opening one bag of 'supposedly self-adhesive decoration cut-outs,' I realized they weren't self-adhesive at all (and I attempted 5 or 6 to see how they'd worked), but basically just plain foam cut-outs. I did not have a glue gun nor craft glue at the time, so never put the cut-out shapes on my drums. I'm still very happy with their look with colorful ribbons and their sound as tight as I pulled the drum heads. My 'kids' are using them in music class and love them. I recommend having clear strong tape and a glue gun at your ready when you make these...and consider having extra adult hands if you have a class of kids make them, because assembly problems will arise - but can be fixed with a little extra tape and glue.

Huge hit at library story hour!

These were a huge hit at my rhythm-themed library story hour. I could not get the adhesive strips to work for attaching the foam "head" so I used a glue gun around the top. This worked well to keep it stretched taut enough to get a good sound. I did this ahead of time so we could use the drums during the story time activity. After the story the kids each got to decorate their drum and take it home.

Brown top will not stay down with adhesive stickers provided. Then tried hot glue gun. Still not pleased.
Easy fun on the go!

We did this little project at my family daycare, kids loved it! It was easy enough for toddlers and all kids were entertained with the decorations. To make it more colorful we painted the base first, which made it even more fun for them.
