 Horns 2-3
What you need: three toilet paper rolls per horn, a party horn, scissors,
masking tape, glue, water, paper, and paint
1. Cut one roll down the middle lengthwise.
2. Remove the fringe from the party horn so you are only left with the plastic noisemaker. Wrap the cut cardboard tube around the plastic noisemaker. Fasten the cardboard to the plastic noisemaker securely with masking tape.
3. With the other two rolls, fold the edge to make a pleat in the bottom side. You are making the bottom small enough to fit inside another roll. This will give your horn a nice curve.
4. Paper mache the toilet paper rolls with long strips of paper and a mixture of equal parts water and glue.
5. Allow the paper mache to dry completely. Paint with white paint.
6. Once dry, allow your kids to decorate as they please!
Balloon Bongo 3-4
As you'll see, this is really a three-in-one instrument. Every kid will love this noisemaker. Oops, sorry, music maker.
What you need: empty and clean tin cans, rice or lentils, balloons, elastic bands, and chopsticks/sticks
1. Begin by putting a small handful of rice or lentils into an empty tin can. PLEASE make sure the tin cans have smooth edges. You can buy can openers that open tins without leaving a sharp edge.
2. Cut the ends off of the balloons and stretch over the end of the tin can.
3. Secure the balloon with an elastic band and you’ve got yourself a bongo!
What you need: varying sizes of cardboard boxes Cardboard Fiddle 4+ (cereal, snacks, etc.), large rubber bands, and hot
glue gun
1. Identify a smaller box and a larger box.
2. Trace around your larger box with a small bowl or plate then cut out the circle. Be sure to leave
enough of the box so it will be strong enough to support the stretch of the rubber bands.
3. Trace the smaller box with a square sized object and cut out a square.
4. Lace each box with 5 rubber bands.
5. Hot glue gun both boxes together and decorate!
They make a great song but are even more fun to decorate!
