Santa is ready to lead a merry Christmas parade. Tap, tap, boom goes his little toy drum as he keeps the beat. Color Santa and his drum for a musical holiday celebration!
Santa Keeps the Holiday Beat
Tap, tap, boom! Santa is holding a toy drum and looking ready to lead a Christmas parade. His drum gives this picture a bouncy, musical feeling. Imagine tiny elves marching behind him or reindeer listening for the beat. Santa’s big smile and festive suit make him look proud of his parade job. You can decide whether his drum sounds soft like a tap or loud like a boom.
Make the Drum Stand Out
Start with Santa’s famous red coat and hat, then add white to his beard and fuzzy trim. Give the drum a bold color, such as blue, green, gold, or shiny red. The drum straps and sticks could be brown, black, or yellow. Try drawing stripes or tiny stars on the drum after coloring it. A pale blue background can make the bright parade colors easy to see.
Drum Facts to March Along With
A drum makes sound when someone hits its stretched top, called a drumhead. The drumhead vibrates, or wiggles very quickly, and that creates the beat we hear. Drums come in many sizes, from tiny hand drums to huge marching drums. People have played drums for thousands of years at celebrations, dances, and parades. Keeping a steady beat can help a whole group march together.
