We have been making music at our house this week. We made our own marching band! Here are a couple of simple homemade musical instruments that you can easily make with your kids. They will like them more than you think! And, if they break, you can easily whip up new ones.
String some bells onto a pipe cleaner to make little shakers- add beads for color if you want.
Make a guitar out of a Kleenex box and rubber bands. Decorate the box with paint and stickers. Use a paper towel tube to make the neck of the guitar to make it look more realistic.
There are so many other fun homemade instruments you can explore as well. Have fun making music!!

This is a fabulous!
