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!
Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
