Are you searching for a sprinkle of innovation in your music classes, therapy sessions, or even just at home? Look no further! Inspired by a brilliant idea from Becky Waddell at Music Therapy Connections, we’re diving into the delightful world of DIY cupcake shakers and a brand new Cupcake Song to shake along to!
Colorful DIY cupcake shaker instruments made from plastic cupcake molds, perfect for children's music activities and learning the cupcake song.
The spark of genius came when Becky crafted adorable shakers from tiny cupcake containers. She envisioned a cupcake song to accompany these unique instruments, and that’s where the magic began. The idea was so fun and engaging, it was impossible not to jump on board and create a song perfectly suited for these novel shakers!
Behold the photographic evidence of Becky’s crafty cupcake shaker project:

Introducing “Cupcake Shake,” the cupcake song designed specifically for these charming DIY instruments! This tune is crafted to be irresistibly catchy and joyfully lighthearted, all while targeting important developmental objectives. Think following directions in a musical context, building directional awareness through movement, practicing the “sh” sound in vocalization, and encouraging gross motor skills through shaking and dancing.
“Cupcake Shake” is more than just a cupcake song; it’s a tool for learning and fun. It’s perfect for getting kids moving, listening, and engaged in music making. Imagine the smiles and giggles as children shake their cupcake shakers along to the beat!
Ready to bring the cupcake song and shaker fun to your classroom or home? You can listen to the full track and download “Cupcake Shake” for yourself right here. We’d love to hear what you and your little musicians think!
