Tap, Strike, Slap

Mnemonic

On your mouth is a stamp that you tap, strike and slap to create a beat! The stamp looks like a little drum, but you're really just hitting your mouth for fun (the stamp was an excuse to make it seem normal).

Put a stamp on your mouth and look in your bathroom mirror. Now tap that stamp and make a fresh new beat the young kids can dance to!
