Soon the Music Festival and free concerts everywhere.
But as it's even better to participate, here are 3 instructions for making simple musical instruments.
And this, from recovery equipment with your children.
Children generally prefer to participate and play music rather than passively listening.
If you have a little time before June 21 and some materials to tinker with, I give you here some indications that I have often applied with my kindergarten students.
You need a cardboard tube , nails, cardboard, seeds (rice or lentils for example), tape, glue, scissors, a hammer.
Plant nails everywhere in the tube, plug one end with the cardboard, put the seeds in the tube, close the other end with the cardboard.
All you have to do is decorate the tube with colorful graphics and tilt your rain stick side to side for a nice, relaxing sound.
You need pots of yogurt and seeds (rice, lentils, pasta), adhesive or glue.
Fill a yogurt pot with the seeds, assemble the filled pot with a second empty pot with glue or adhesive.
Decorate the jars. Shake for a percussion sound which will vary according to the contents of each jar!
You need a cylindrical-shaped cardboard barrel from which the bottom is removed, a balloon from which the end to be inflated has been cut, and a roll of strong adhesive.
Stretch the balloon well and stick it on one side of the barrel with the adhesive. We decorate the surface of the barrel.
You can hit the surface of the ball like a Djembe, or use wooden sticks to use it as a drum.
Children love to tinker, and the sounds of these instruments are quite nice. So if you know of other easy-to-make instruments, let me know in the comments.
