Guitar from recycled materials

Whenever I play the guitar, Baby Chuck seems keen to join in. He pulls on strings, turns the tuning keys, and inevitably drops picks (and possibly raisins- ick) into the body. I figured he'd like his own guitar, so I made him this black and white cutie. It's the size of a ukulele. (Why cow print? Well, whenever we ask him "What does a cow say?" he responds "Mmm mmm." Then we always cheer because that's close enough for us.) Want to make your own guitar? Read on! DIY Cardboard KidsGuitar…

Make a guitar (or bango, violin, etc.) out of recycled cracker boxes and cardboard tubes. Your preschooler can help put the entire piece together and then strum a little tune to finish off the show.

This instrument I made quickly using some items from our recycling bin. All you need is a rectangle tissue box, a paper towel roll, a few rubberbands and some tape. Place the rubber bands around the tissue box so that they lay over the opening. Cut one inch slits around one end of the paper towel roll and fold out. Tape that end to one of the short sides of the tissue box. Strum away! You can even get fancy and play it with your teeth. Or teach a buddy to play.
