Ever Used a BOOMWHACKER??

I had never heard of Boomwhackers until I saw the sale today on Mamapedia. They have a sale on a diatonic Boomwhacker set for $21 shipped. (look under the sale in Houston although it is good anywhere in the US) It is a similar concept of handbells, orchestra bells, or those pipe organ looking PVC pipes you can “play” at children’s museums. Each tube has a different pitch. It sure looks like an interesting way to introduct and experiment with music and kids. Has anyone used these before?
My parents have a set at their house and my girls love them (especially the 5 yo). Highly recommended!
My degree is in music education, and when I was teaching we used these in elementary music classes. They're great! You can teach basic music concepts (and more advanced ones), they're affordable, and virtually indestructible! My kids are getting a set for Christmas. You can get them for less than mamapedia on Musician's Friend (www.musiciansfriend.com) and any order ships free through them!
OH thanks for the tip Amber!
AWESOME that you guys/gals have discovered some of my favorite instruments: boomwhackers =) If you need free arrangements for pop songs, head over to my blog, click on "boomwhackers," and peruse through my selection of downloadable pdfs and enjoy the vids =)

LOL. Good ole' boomwhackers. I should dust mine off and use them. It's been awhile.
Kids will love anything they can bang or hit! 🙂
