As seen Online...




My kids love music!
They can turn just about anything into a musical instrument... a bucket, a couple of sticks, various bumpy objects that they can run something across to make sound... you get the idea.

When I saw a tutorial for a Drinking Straw Flute from Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational (you should totally check her site out!), I knew my kids would love it!
We just had to make a few of our own!











I like the fact that this project incorporated measuring and size relations, as well as the musical aspect of it. Learning has never been so fun!

Thank you Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational! We had a lot of fun!

  3. Does blowing through the different parts actually make sounds? (Or do you just need to pretend the sounds).

    1. You can get a sound! :-) Have you ever tried blowing across the top of a straw while it is in a cup of water (or soda or juice, etc...)? Well, it's sort of like that, but not as strong. :-)
