We had a visit from the Junkman today, the kids had a blast! The Junkman uses all recycled and repurposed materials as his instruments; PVC pipes, saw blades, glass bottles and clay pots to name a few. He played his instruments and had the kids join along. This events aligns perfectly with our Beautiful Stuff unit and plays in wonderfully with our book of the month, Max Found Two Sticks. After the show, the kids make their very own shakers with repurposed materials to take home.
Max Found Two Sticks by Brian Pinkney is a story about a boy who uses two sticks as drumsticks and plays on found materials like his grandfather's cleaning bucket, soda bottles and his lap.
