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.

Product is great, but shipping time wasn't so great. We got it too late and had to rush to make it for our show.

I used this as part of a lesson presentation in one of my early childhood classes. It was functional for the purpose, and it was an easy project to go along with a more complex musical concept. I was pleased with the quality for the activity I used it for, but the leftover drums that my kids created and played with when I got home did not last long.

Adorable but the sticky stuff on the drum cover doesn't work so they need to be hot glued instead or just tied down very securely with the ribbon.

This was a great project. Everything was there in the kit. No need to purchase anything else. The only thing the kids had a hard time with was peeling the double sided tape strips. Even the older children. The teachers had to do most of that. If they would have ad a slit in one side of the paper you peel off to make it easier it would have been the percent craft.
