If you’ve never seen a pandero, it’s a hand drum from Guatemala which is carried in processions and played during weddings. In this post, we will go over the history of the pandero and how to make your own pandero from items you can find at any hardware store. This is a great activity for kids or anyone who wants to explore their creative side. We will also cover a few basics in magrate yap which means “dance of planting” and is a traditional dance in Guatemala that tells stories about farming. As much as I love playing with food, I cannot claim to have made this whole thing up. I have found the instructions are very simple to follow and have even been tested by my own kids. This is a family project where kids can help cut out the pandero, paint it, and decorate the handle. There are also ways that adults can get involved too. This whole process took me about 2 hours, which included shopping for supplies. The cost was about $10 in materials and many of them were used for multiple panderos so if you have more than one child, consider getting more than one paint color if possible. Materials Used for Making a Pandero Here are the supplies that were used to make my pandero. I have divided them into color groups that are easy to find online or at your local crafts store. I also have links to Amazon below so you can purchase the items if you need them for future projects. Materials to Make an Origami Box Style PanderoFor our first project, we will be using an origami box style pandero which is designed so that it swings like a door.

You can make either a larger or smaller pandero depending on your creativity and materials. Supplies Used to Make Pandero Box, but you can use any size you like Here we will cover the basics of how to cut out and fold this box style pandero.

You will also need something that you can use as a handle for your pandero during processions and when carrying it around. cfa1e77820
