Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a place to purchase round laundry style baskets and exercise balls to sit atop them for drumming with my senior group. Or perhaps there are better alternatives? I have a very slim budget and fund many materials from my own money, so any bargains would be appreciated! Thank you!
Hi Jen I’ve always bought supplies at Dollar tree or similar stores I always look for sale items I buy a lot of things at Oriental Trading because they always have items on sale I don’t know if you have read any of these articles, but they may help you https://www.goldencarers.com/search/?search=Drumming+

Hi Susan,
Thank you! I'll check all of that info out. I appreciate your suggestions!
I got mine at Dollar Tree - only a dollar each. We don't use the ball on top of the basket, just tip the basket upside down to drum on the base. I don't have enough storage space to store 8-10 balls for this activity!

Thanks, Jean! I will check those out. I was planning on exercise balls, but could easily look for something a bit smaller.

Thank you Rose! I didn't think of that- especially the storage!
I just wanted to tell you that this addition of "This day in History" is phenomenal!!!! I've been looking for something like this, and to have it all done, makes my job so much easier! I love your website and my seniors enjoy all of the great activities! THANK YOU!!
