Well, it’s happened. Travis has lost interest in music from his kiddie class, and now when we’re in the car, he only requests “grown-up music” (Dire Straits, to be exact). So on this rainy Saturday morning, I made my budding rock star his very own microphone!

To start, inflate a balloon until it is the right size to balance atop an empty toilet paper tube.

Cover the balloon with foil, and then secure with a rubber band or two.

Travis added extra bling to his microphone with sparkly gold washi tape.

Now it was time to hop on stage!

We had fun rocking out together for quite a while. A great prop for imagination and developing confidence!
