For the last several months, we've been collecting empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls from friends and family. Thanks to everyone, we now have hundreds, and you might have noticed in our previous post for Olympic games that we used some as pretend torches. Well, we still had a ton left, so we decided to create musical instruments. I was a bit sceptical and not quite sure how well little ones would be at making the sound...but it was a huge success at our latest concert. We gave everyone a chance to color and construct their very own kazoos to play along with us. It's a super easy craft and a great way to recycle, too!
You will need:
- Toilet paper roll or paper towel roll sans paper
- Rubber band
- Wax paper
- Scissors
- Crayons or stickers to decorate
Directions:
- Decorate the toilet paper or paper towel roll
- Cut a small hole about 1 inch below the end of the roll. ( I used one part of a scissor and twisted it to make the hole).
- Cut a square piece of wax paper roughly 3.5" x 3.5" and place around the top of the roll (same side with the hole)
- Adjust the wax paper so the hole is not covered.
- Play! Hummmm or sing into it!
