4 Make Flower Pot Music Turn flower pots into a unique musical instrument with this inventive activity! Your child will be a musician in no time and this activity will give him a great opportunity to learn about music and sound. Your child will be able to hear and analyze the different sounds he produces with his very own homemade instrument. Just as importantly, he'll learn that music is everywhere if you know how to listen. What You Need: Clay flower pots Wooden spoon String Notebook rings Place from which to hang the pots What to Do: 1. Collect clay flower pots with a hole in each of the pot bottoms. Use four or five different sizes. 2. Thread a piece of string through the bottom of each pot and attach it to a notebook ring placed inside the pot. 3. Hang the pots upside-down at different lengths, so that when they are struck with the wooden spoon, they will not swing and hit each other. 4. Invite your child to hit the pots with the wooden spoon to make music. Talk about the different sounds the different-sized pots make. Older children can try to imitate a tune they know or make their own. If your child would like to show off his newfound musical talent, gather friends and family members for a concert!

5 Make a Shoe Box Guitar This is just one of many ways that you can reuse household items and make neat crafts from them: make this guitar out of an old shoebox for some musical fun, while saving room in the landfill. What You Need: Empty shoe box 5-6 jumbo rubber bands Pen or pencil Scissors What You Do: 1. Start by tracing a circle about three or four inches wide on the lid of the shoe box. 2. Cut out the circle so there is now a hole in the lid of the shoe box. 3. Put the lid back on the box and wrap the rubber bands lengthwise around the box and over the hole. 4. Put the pen or pencil under the rubber bands on one side. 5. Now strum your guitar! Excerpted From "Help Your Parents Save the Planet" Copyright 2009 by Gregory Rutty.

6 Make Paper Plate Tambourines Looking for a noisemaker that's more musical than your typical preschooler's banging and clanging? Try this quick arts and crafts activity that will produce a homemade paper plate tambourine! It s easy to make with supplies you probably have on hand, and it makes a great toy. No wonder it s a classic! What You Need: 2 paper plates A handful of dried beans A stapler Magic markers, stickers, glitter glue, etc What You Do: 1. Set one paper plate on the table and have your child drop a good handful of beans on it. 2. Top with the other plate, face side down, and staple the edges of the plates together. Make sure the staples are close enough together that no beans can escape! 3. When the tambourine is fully constructed, hand your child the art supplies and let him go crazy with the decorations! Stickers, finger paint, even feathers and ribbons will give this quick craft a touch of flair to last through many musical numbers! Copyright Education.com All Rights Reserved.

7 Spin Drum Rhythm masters and percussion artists in training, have some fun holding a beat with some homemade drums! Help your child craft a spin drum like those found in both Peru and Japan. Instead of being played with hands or sticks, this unique drum has to be twisted and turned to play. This drummer s activity is sure to spark an interest in learning about musical instruments from other cultures. What You Need: An empty frozen juice container with both metal ends Scissors Craft knife A pencil White glue Yarn 2 beads Embroidery needle Stickers What You Do: 1. Explain to your daughter that she is making a spin drum. Show her pictures of these drums both from Japan and Peru. The beads strike the drum heads when the drum is turned. 2. Cut the juice container down so it is approximately two inches tall. 3. Use a craft knife to make a hole in the side of the container. It should be in the center, one inch from each side. Push the eraser end of the pencil through the hole and into the drum. Stop pushing when the eraser presses into the opposite side of the drum. Glue in place. 4. Lay the drum flat on the table so the pencil hole is at 6 o clock. Use the craft knife to poke two small holes at 3 and 9 o-clock. Using the embroidery needle, thread a 13-inch piece of yarn through these holes. Tie a bead onto each end. 5. Close the drum with the missing metal lid. Glue into place. 6. Decorate the drum with stickers. Your daughter can play her drum by twisting the pencil back and forth so the beads bounce off the drum heads. Soon she will be keeping time to the music as she twists and turns to the beat. Copyright Education.com All Rights Reserved.

9 How to Make Maracas Cinco de Mayo celebrates an important battle in Mexican history. Although the battle took place across the border, the holiday is widely celebrated in America by people of Mexican heritage. Why not take part in the festivities? These maracas make a racket, and they couldn t be easier to make What You Need: 2 plastic drink bottles Rocks Dried uncooked pasta Beans Rice Masking tape Markers What You Do: 1. Rinse out the plastic bottles. Talk to your child about the fact that each of the materials on the table (rocks, pasta, beans, and rice) can be used to fill the maracas. Discuss the qualities of each of the filler materials and ask her to make some predictions about what each material would sound like and what it would do if it filled a bottle (for example, The rocks are big, so they d be hard to shake or The rice is light so the bottle wouldn t feel very heavy ). 2. Allow your child to fill the plastic bottle with the fill material of her choice. Close the bottle, let her shake it, and tell her she can exchange it for something else if she d like. This is a great time to allow your child to experiment with different fill materials. How is the sound made by rocks in the bottle different than the sound made by rice? 3. Once your child has settled on the perfect fill materials, place a lid on each bottle and secure with masking tape. Cover the entire bottle with layers of masking tape and give your child the markers so she can decorate them. Strike up the music and shake! Copyright Education.com All Rights Reserved.

10 Design a Great Glass Xylophone! This amusing activity incorporates music into an educational science experiment! Your child will love learning about sound waves as he makes and plays sweet-sounding melodies on his very own glass xylophone. He ll delight in exploring the effect of varying amounts of water in each glass, and will get to make up some enchanting tunes at the same time! What You Need: 6 tall glass glasses, bottles, or jars (preferably the same shape and size) Water Food coloring or colorful soft drink mix Metal spoon, wooden spoon, or wooden popsicle sticks Jug What You Do: 1. Get your child to line up the bottles or glasses in a row. 2. Ask your child to tap gently on each of the glasses. What sort of sound is created? Do the glasses all make the same sound? 3. Put the water in the jug and get your child to mix in the food coloring or drink mix. 4. With your child, carefully pour the water into the glasses, making sure there is a different level of water in each glass. 5. Get your child to tap the glasses again. What sort of noise do they make now? Do all of the glasses make the same sound now? 6. Encourage your child to vary the tones by changing the amounts of water. 7. Invite your child to play a tune! Adjust the musical notes that are created by adding more or less water to each glass. What's Going On? When your child taps the glasses, he generates sound waves that travel through the water. When there is water in the glasses, the sound waves are altered as they need to travel through water. The more water is present in a glass, the lower the sound note. Variation: If you are using bottles for this activity, get your child to blow into the bottle and to listen to the sound produced. Are they the same or different from the sound he gets when he taps the bottles? He might be surprised, as the result is the opposite. The more water in the bottle, the higher the note. This is because the sound waves created when the bottle is blown travel through the air rather than the water. The less water present in the bottle, the more air there is!

15 All musical instruments, including the piano, use SEVEN basic notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. A piano has a total of 88 keys. These seven notes are played on the white keys, repeated over and over, but the pitch gets higher as they go from left to right. Cut out these markers and tape them to the correct keys on your piano as a guide!

16 OCTAVE: An octave is a series of 8 notes in order. All notes can be played at many different octaves; it is the same note, but with a higher or lower pitch. The keys highlighted in yellow represent an octave. FLAT (b): This symbol flat means that the note is played one half-step below (on the black keys). SHARP (#): This symbol sharp means that the note is played one half-stop above (on the black keys). CHORD: A chord is many notes played together, at the same time to create a harmony.
