Musical Instruments

 Welcome

As we are in the last few weeks of winter, I decided to do a unit to learn about some musical instruments.

I think all kids love playing and in our case, lots of singing along.  Lots of fun.

So, here's what we did last week.

Xylophone

I hot glued the base which was 2 rolls and a large popsicle stick together, then the kids coloured the rest of the sticks and we glued them onto the frame.  We used a plastic chop stick to play it.

Banjo

These fun banjos were easy to make using a paper plate and a long tube.  

We added some elastic bands for the strings.

Maracas

We used some empty water bottles for the tops and filled them with beads and some pasta.  

I glued the handle on and the kids decorated them.

Trumpet

These simple trumpets were made using a tube and a small paper plate.

Piano

I traced the kids hand and cut them out.

We glued them onto our pianos.

Well that's all for now.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
