Cakes is a bit of an all rounder, she loves to play quietly inside and read a book however loves being outside and can be rather noisy. To encourage some creativity outside we thought a music wall would be a way she could express herself, be noisy and be outside all at once. Our inspiration came from the many music walls pinned on Pinterest and Cakes's interest in kitchen items. My Mum is an avid op shopper (usually with no particular item in mind) so we we used her local knowledge to travel to thirteen different op shops in search of pots pans and kitchen items. This wasn't as successful as I had thought it would be as we only got two saucepan lids, a pan and a wine rack looking thing. Out of our own cupboard we had a strainer, wooden spoon, whisk metal ladle and a plastic ladle.
As my tradie skills are not the best we invested in a small amount of Grandad's time, tools and materials. Grandad strung up the chain with screws and we attached the various kitchen items to the fence (yet to find and attach a pot). Cakes immediately started to make music and invited Grandad to join her. She has now had this for quite some time and doesn't use it everyday but often if outside long enough there will be music heard with a clang clang clang and a bang bang. She has just started to create patterns with the instruments and sings along.
