Some times the best fun is to be had in your own back garden. We are always off exploring somewhere new, and our garden gets a bit neglected as a fun place to be. Monkey decided to take his music bag out in the garden recently and he held a little concert. He was banging the drum, whistling and generally making a lot of noise. Having fun.
He’s no Phil Collins but who cares, he was having fun, playing with the drum, making his own kind of music. Just being a little boy, playing with his musical instruments.
We spent a nice afternoon, doing nothing much, just being together. You don’t get to see me being told to march up and down the garden though! Mummy, BE the Grand Old Duke of York please!!
I know it’s most unlike me to not have mini beasts featured somewhere on a Country Kids post, but just for once, this is all just about banging the drum.
He looks like he is having so much fun! Love his expression. Sometimes these simple activities really are the most fun 🙂 #CountryKids
Yes, it was wonderful to just do something simple at home.
looks like lots of fun!! we never really play with music toys .. we need to change that #CountryKids
He wasn’t bothered by them for a long time, but finally he’s found his beat.
I love the idea of a music bag, we’ve not got too many musical instruments but I think this is an area we really need to concentrate on. Thanks for the idea. Monkey looks as though he’s really enjoying it! x
To be honest, he wasn’t interested for a long time, but all of a sudden he has the music bug.
Sometimes the garden really is the best place to be. Sorry we don’t get to see photos of you though! 😉
It’s amazing how much fun they can have with something so simple! Lovely sunny photos x
Yes, I forget sometimes that fun at home is better than fun anywhere else.
It is really lovely just to ‘be’ isn’t it and to be able to enjoy the lovely weather in our own back gardens. We had the water slide out on Thursday as school was closed and it was such a lovely day. I’m smiling at the thought of you marching too (can picture it) 🙂
It was lovely, just being home, having fun.
You don’t have to go further than your own garden for some lovely outdoor fun! Monkey looks so happy creating his own tunes and getting Mum in on the act too. Thanks for linking up and sharing the fun with Country Kids.
No exactly, perfect for me to have a cuppa whilst he’s making music.
Looks like he had fun! Nice idea to take the instruments outside. Less echo than in the house! Mel #CountryKids
He had a great time
lol oh you make me laugh, he might not be phill collins …..YET!!! but give him time and practice #countrykids
Would be great if he shows the skill, might persuade Daddy P to clear the garage for a set of drums!
Looks like Monkey is having a great time!
It was a lovely, simple afternoon.
A music bag’s a great idea. We don’t have many instruments as his old sets have been broken and given away. Only a (proper) harmonica left). But N does love music, so I really should get some bits and pieces again for him to enjoy.
(My music exploration with kids linky will be going up on 15th July, so would be great if you linked this post up).
It was the only way I could keep everything together. He wasn’t fussed with a lot of it for ages but all of a sudden he is a little music man.
Yep, our pieces used to get everywhere too
Thanks for linking up. #MusicExploration
I love it when kids sing and play music. Theres just something about their voice. Makes the banging noise so pretty! My son do this too. He’s got a guitar that he just strum randomly and would sing. Thats my fave song whatever he is singing =) #countrykids
It is lovely getting out in the garden isn’t it. It looks like Monkey was having a great time!
I managed to escape 7yo ever wanting a drum. I am a lucky Mum! However I almost know the entire Frozen soundtrack off by heart now!
Where as I have no idea what the soundtrack of Frozen sounds like, not even ‘that’ song!
Oh, this has inspired me to get the percussion out! We are already 3 weeks into the holidays and I need as many distractions as I can lay my hands on, no matter how noisy.
#CountryKids
I think noisy rules when it comes to instruments, the louder the better!
Music play is great fun and lovely to take it outside for an outdoor concert. #CountryKids
Music making is great fun! #CountryKids
