The garden is full of drums. Tap, crunch and splash your way to a little nature song.

A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 2 min to prepare · 12 min to explore · 1 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Two short, blunt sticks
- Two smooth stones
- Whatever's around you: a log, a fence, a pile of dry leaves, a puddle
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Tap a stick gently on a tree trunk, a fence and a log. Which sounds best?
- Together
Knock two stones together. Try loud, then soft.
Crunch through dry leaves or stomp in a puddle to make a beat.
Listen for a bird, then try copying its song.
- Together
Put it all together for a little garden concert.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
