Stallone had a fun time putting together his tambourine. He didn't quite understand why there was noodles and streamers out, but once we started to assemble it, he got really excited. I will say, if you glue it, you will need to let it sit and dry for about 20 minutes before adding the beans/noodles. Stallone did not like that we had to wait to finish the project. Have a great time making music, Stallone ran p down the hallway hitting his tambourine! :)
