Create Popsicle Stick Harmonica! [age: 2-6]


What you need


Instructions

  1. Trace a popsicle stick on a piece of paper and cut out the shape.
  2. Sandwich that paper strip in between the 2 Popsicle Sticks.
  3. Wrap a rubber band around one end until it is snug.
  4. Slide a toothpick to the inside of the rubber band, so that the ends stick out each side of the popsicle stick. Cut off the extra length of the tooth pick.
  5. Sandwich the last toothpick at the other end of the Popsicle stick (cut off extra length) and wrap with a rubber band.
  6. Now it’s time to make a sound! Place your mouth in the center of the harmonica and blow or hum so that the paper between the popsicle sticks vibrates!
