Home made musical instruments
Home made rain maker
You will need:
A snack tube or a long cardboard tube (such as used for kitchen foil)
Paint (gold or silver)
Glitter and sequins
Glue
Lentils or rice
To make:
Paint your tube and leave to dry. Decorate the tube with sequins and glitter.
Fill the tube about 1/5 full of rice or lentils and glue the lid on securely. If you are using a kitchen foil tube, you will need to cut circles of card or paper and fix them very securely over each end.
Tip the tube from side to side to hear the rice fall.
Home made rainbow castanets
You will need:
Paper plate
Paints
Lids from plastic milk/juice bottles
Strong glue
Instructions:
Paint circles around the back of the paper plate working inwards from red to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple. Leave to dry.
Fold the plate in half (with the paint to the outside) and with strong glue stick milk bottle lids along the inside edge of the plate, making sure to leave a gap a couple of inches either side of the fold line.
When the glue is dry, play your castanets by holding between your thumb and fingers and clicking together.
