8lbs Quick Cooking Oats, 7 craft drums

I teach a "Fun with Music" class at our Classical Kids Co-op on alternating Fridays. For a last minute craft, I decided to have the class make drums (1 cardboard cylinder, 1 decorated paper wrapped around said cardboard, 1 wax paper top, yarn to tie it down). It was a hit. After the craft, the kids banged on their drums to the music of Laurie Berkner and (a 3CD-set I highly recommend) The Best of the Best Preschool Play Songs! When the kids are busy like that, it's easy for the moms to carry a conversation:

Friend: That was a great idea. But, you'll have to tell me if you saved all these oats containers or if you have a bag of oats in your car.
Me: Ha! I have 8lbs of oats waiting for me in the car... any ideas?

Including the usual Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe, here are some others to consider if you're stuck with 8lbs of oats:
