Wood Blocks
Woodblocks different shapes and sizes.
Perhaps some parents could be asked to help; those who are woodwork hobbyists or carpenters, by donating some off cuts of wood, and help with making some cuts or holes in the wood, for different tuning.
The children could sand and paint their wood blocks to incorporate music with art.
Below is a link demonstrating woodblock percussion, it is quite a long video, but worth the view, I thought it a good example of group performance, that could be simplified for children.
Note the high block in the middle that keeps the main rhythm throughout.
