 | Musical harmonica
Developmental areas: Music; listening
What you will need:
-
large craft ice-cream sticks
-
elastic bands
-
matchsticks
-
paper
-
scissors
What to do:
-
cut a piece of paper the same size as the craft sticks (older kids can trace the stick on paper and cut it out themselves)
-
cut the matchsticks the same width as the craft sticks
-
place the paper on the bottom craft stick, place the matchsticks towards the end on the paper and place the other craft stick on top
-
use the elastic bands on either end to hold everything together
-
gently press the middle of the harmonica whilst blowing to make different sounds
The kids can make up their own songs or play a cd and have them follow the tune on their harmonicas.
Caution: Depending on the quality of craft sticks used, dye from the sticks may stain lips.
