Welcome back to another day of imaginary play week.  Today’s crafts and activities are all rockstar-themed.  Many of these crafts will be perfect for the midsummer slump that is sure happening in many a home and camp.

We’ve rounded up crafts using cds, cassettes, and vinyl to give kids a sense of music history.  We’ve also found simple guitar crafts and musical activities to get kids moving!
