Shoe Box Guitar

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

Materials Needed:

Shoe Box Paper Towel Roll 4 - 6 Rubber Bands 6 Craft Sticks Paint Optional Craft Glue or Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks Paint Brush Scissors

Instructions:Start out by painting the shoe box and the lid whatever color you want their guitar to be. They can also paint the paper towel roll and even the craft sticks. Let the paint dry. Of course, this is optional, you can keep the shoe box and paper towel roll whatever color they are.

Cut a circle in the center of the box lid and then replace it onto the box. Glue 4 craft sticks, one on top of the other, between the hole and the short side of the box. These sticks should be parallel to the short side of the shoe box. You can then glue 2 of the craft sticks onto the paper towel roll near one end. These sticks should be perpendicular to the paper towel roll. Leave about an inch of space between the two sticks. Let the glue dry.

Stretch 4 to 6 rubber bands around the box the long way so they lay over the craft sticks and also over hole. Glue the end of the paper towel roll without the craft sticks onto the side of the guitar. It is okay for the paper towel roll to cover the rubber bands. Let the glue dry.

You can now play your shoe box guitar! To play this fancy guitar, you simply pluck or strum the rubber bands!

Paper Towel Roll Hand Bells By Sherri Osborn, About.com


Materials Needed:

Paper Towel Roll Paint Optional Yarn 12 Jingle Bells Upholstery Needle Paint Brush Scissors

Instructions:Start out by painting the paper towel roll if you desire. You might also want to seal the paint with a clear acrylic spray. Let the paint dry completely.

Cut a piece of yarn about 10" long and thread it onto the upholstery needle. Poke the needle through the cardboard roll, about a 1/2" from one of the ends, going in on one side and coming out directly across from it on the other side. Leave about a 3" tail of yarn where the needle went in. Now thread 4 jingle bells onto the needle, pulling them down the length of the yarn. Grab onto the yarn tail you left and also the end you strung the bells onto (remove the needle!) and tie them into a tight knot, pulling tightly so the bells are snug against the cardboard roll.

Cut another piece of yarn, thread it onto the needle and add another string of jingle bells like you did the first. This one should be about 1" down from the first. Repeat the above steps again so you end up with 3 rows of jingle bells.

Your paper towel hand bells are now done. When it comes time to play this fun instrument, you simply has to shake it!

Finger Cymbals



Materials Needed:

2 Baby Food Jar Lids (or any 2 lids of the same size) 1/4 - 1/2 inch wide elastic Hammer Nail Misc. Craft Supplies to Embellish

Instructions:Cut two 4 inch pieces of elastic. With an adult's help, use the hammer and nail to punch a hole in the center of each baby food jar lid. Push both ends of a piece of elastic through each hole. Tie the ends of the elastic into a knot.

Decorate your finger cymbals using a variety of craft supplies. Once any paint or glue is dry, you can slip your finger cymbals onto your thumb and pointer finger and make music!


Paper Plate Tambourine

Materials Needed: 2 paper plates Crayons Dried Beans Stapler or Glue Ribbons to decorate

Instructions:Decorate the paper plates however you want. Put one paper plate on the table, with the right side nup. Place the other paper plate on top of the first one, right side down. This will make a gap in the middle. Start stapling the edges together. Leave an opening at the top to slide a handful of gried beans in. Finish stapling it shut. You are now ready to play some music!

Instant Noise Maker Craft


Time Required: 10 minutes

Materials Needed:

Small Soda or Water Bottle Rice Beads, Charms, Glitter, Sequins, Other Small Items Small Kitchen Funnel Craft Glue

Instructions:Start out by cleaning the bottle well and removing the label. Make sure the bottle is totally dry before you start this project.

Place the end of the funnel into the bottle and start filling it! Start out with about a cup of rice. You can add more or less if you like. Then, start adding any small items you would like to 'search' for in the bottle. It can be beads, charms, small toys, etc. Make sure if young children are helping you that they do not put any of the small items in their mouth. You can also add some sparkle to your bottle by adding glitter or sequins.

Once you have everything you want in your bottle, spread some glue around the threads on the neck and replace the cap tightly. This will prevent the cap from falling off or being removed by small fingers.

In the bottle above, I added several shaped beads. They are shaped like a variety of items such as dogs, boats, hearts, starts, etc. If you add special shapes like this, your noise maker can also be a game. Challenge your child to find specific shapes or colors by rolling the bottle around to reveal hidden treasures.


Coffee Can Drum

What You Need: An empty coffee can with a plastic lid (small, large, whatever you have). Construction paper, glue & scissors. Paint or markers. Paintbrushes & water. Dowels or sticks from trees in the park. String, leather, feathers, beads ... any bits of scrap material you might have.

What You Do:1. You have two options here. Either paint the coffee can with paint or cover the can

with construction paper. Leave the plastic lid on the coffee can ... this will be your drum head.

2. If you cover the coffee can with construction paper, you can paint or draw designs and creatures on the coffee can. Have a look at pictures of different kinds of drums and the images found on them. (Try covering the can with aluminum foil for a neat effect.)

3. After the paint is dry, you can glue all sorts of wonderful things to your drum. 4. Using wooden dowels or simply wooden sticks, drum away on your new coffee

can drum. 5. Older students may want to try pounding the bottom of the coffee can with a

rubber mallet to make a Carribean-style steel drum.

Sandpaper Blocks

Materials:Two small blocks of pine or plywood, approximately 1" x 4" x 5" (although size is really not importantSandpaper (experiment with different grades of sandpaper to make different effects).ThumbtacksThread spools and glue or cabinet knobs and screws

Assembly:1. Cover one side of each block with sandpaper.2. Fold the sandpaper over the edges and fasten it with thumbtacks. Cut the corners out so sandpaper will fold neatly around the block (A).

3. Trim off excess.4. Glue or screw handles to the other side of each block (B).

Playing Suggestions:Rub the blocks together in a continuous motion for a swishing, whispering sound or bring the blocks together in a more percussive manner for a more rhythmic effect.

Kazoo or Humming Flute

Goal: Make a Kazoo or a Humming FluteMaterials: wax paper, cardboard tube ( from a left over kitchen towel or toiletroll), tape or rubber band, pencil.Procedure for a Kazoo:1. Cut a small square of wax paper about 1 inch larger than the end of thecardboard tube.2. Wrap one side of the tube with the wax paper using a rubber band.3. Poke a small hole near the covered end of the wax paper.4. Decorate the tube with colors or stickers.5. Now hum or sing a tune through the open end of the tube and feel howthe kazoo will vibrate depending on how loud your sound is.6. Make different tunes by humming loud and soft into the tube and createmusic.You can repeat the same exercise using a toilet roll to make a flute.

Procedure for a Humming Flute1. Using a pencil, poke 3-4 holes in the cardboard roll about 1 inch apart.Now repeat the steps 1-6 above.Using these techniques, people have created music over the years. Music canbe made using different things such as cans, wires, cardboard tubes, craftsticks and bells.

Bonnie Bagpipes

1. No one is sure how bagpipes began, but people in the Balkans, Ireland and the Highlanders of Scotland were responsible for the bagpipe’s development. No one is sure about the origins of tartan plaids, either. Many people believe that tartans became associated with clans or families in Scotland in the 1700s. That’s when it was possible to mass-produce fabric in factories.

2. Find pictures and information about bagpipes. Listen to recordings. If you can, watch bagpipes being played at a Celtic festival, parade, or other event.

3. Traditional Highland bagpipes include one loud, high-pitched pipe or chanter and three big, loud upright pipes or drones. All of these pipes are connected to a bag held under the arm. The bag is either covered with velvet or the clan tartan plaid. Bagpipe players fill the bag with air by blowing through a blowpipe. To make your own set of pretend bagpipes, use your imagination and adapt these directions.

4. Use Crayola® Gel Markers to decorate a small brown paper bag with a tartan plaid. If you have Scot or Irish heritage, try to find out what your family’s plaid is, and duplicate it. Stuff your bag with crumpled newspaper so it looks like it is full of air.

5. Use Crayola Scissors to cut one short piece of cardboard roll for the blow pipe. Cut a piece that is a bit longer for the chanter. Cut three even longer sections for the drones.

6. Cut construction paper to fit all five cardboard rolls. Decorate your pipes if you like with Celtic designs. Attach the paper to the pipes with Crayola School Glue. Glue the three drones together at slight angles to each other. Air-dry your pipes.

7. Insert the blowpipe into the open end of the paper bag. Glue the bag’s mouth around the end of the blow pipe. Hold in place with a rubber band. Air-dry your project. Remove the rubber band.

8. Poke a hole in your bag near the blow pipe for the chanter, which hangs below the blow pipe when played. Glue it in place. Make slits in the bag for the three drones. Glue them in place. Lay the bagpipe flat to air-dry.

9. Drape colorful yarn around the drones. Glue it in place. Air-dry before humming along on your bagpipes.

Rainstick

You need:• Sturdy cardboard tube, 46 to 120 cm (18-1/8 to 47-1/4 in) long, such as mailing or drafting tube (available at stationery stores) or tube from fabric bolt (ask at fabric stores)• 22-gauge hobby wire (approx half a roll for short stick, 1 roll for long stick), cut in 30 cm (11-7/8-in) lengths• Dry rice, beans and lentils (approx 125 mL/1/2 cup for short stick, 375 mL/1-1/2 cups for long stick)• Clear packing tape, 48 mm x 66 m (approx 1 roll for 20 sticks)• Construction paper• Gift wrap• Permanent nontoxic coloured markers• Coloured feathers• Stickers• Sequins• White craft glue and brushes for glue• Scissors and ruler

To make:1. Crisscross lengths of tape across 1 end of tube, sticking ends to tube sides. Build up 3 or 4 layers of tape to completely close opening.

2. Coil, then crumple, each length of wire into loose "ball." With ruler, push balls into tube until it's full. Pour dry rice, beans and lentils into tube. Seal open end in same manner as given for Step 1.

3. Brush glue onto 1 side of a paper strip; wrap strip around tube, aligning edge with 1 end. Continue gluing strips in place to make series of stripes down length of tube.

4. Decorate tube as desired with shapes cut from paper or gift wrap, markers, feathers, stickers and/or sequins.
