Club Penguin Arts & Crafts Activity: Bongo Drum

Club Penguin has added another activity to their Arts & Crafts page! And the new 'toys' that you can create are Bongo Drums; some cool simple instruments! These drums are here because of the Teen Beach Movie Takeover, but they're cool anyway! Now, you probably all want to know how to make the Bongo Drums, so look below to find out.

*Ask an adult for help

You will need:

2 round plastic containers of the same size

Newspaper 

Paper maché mix

Liquid Glue

Paints or markers 

Felt or Fabric (large enough to cover to top of the container)

Elastic Band

Optional:

String, yarn or thin rope

Glitter

Feathers

Beads

Paper maché mix:

1 cup flour

2 cups water

Instructions:

1. Leave the lids on your containers.

2. Glue the bottom of the two containers together.

3. While it dries, make your paper maché mix.

4. Mix together your flour and water until it's sticky.

5. Dip the newspaper in the paper maché mix. Remove any excess paper maché mix with your fingers.

6. Cover your container with the paper maché.

7. Do a few layers to make sure you've covered up any design on the container.

8. Set your container aside to dry overnight.

9. Once dry, use your paints and markers to create your own unique design.

10. Place your felt or fabric over one end of your container and hold it in place with an elastic band.

11. Cover up the elastic by wrapping string, yarn or thin rope around it and gluing it in place.

12. Decorate your drum with beads, feathers, glitter or anything else you'd like.

Those are all of the instructions for the Bongo Drums! If you're going to make the Bongo Drums, remember to ask your parents to help you make them. What do you think about the Bongo Drums, anyway?
