Rainbow Glass XylophoneDo, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do. Music is the universal language and something that many people hold dear. While I love listening to my favorite bands, I am not very good at playing any instruments. I played the clarinet when I was younger and found that I would much rather listen to the music around me than try and create it.  While my musical career was short lived, yours doesn’t have to be. AllFreeKidsCrafts has compiled a list of the best musical crafts for little ones. Whether you love banging away on a drum or learning different notes, you will find a musical craft to suit your taste.

There are so many different instruments to play, and each one makes a different sound. The drums sound different than the harp which sounds different than a violin. No matter what sound you like the best or which instrument you call your own, we can all agree that playing music is so much fun. Join in with your friends, family, and classmates to create a symphony of sounds like no other.

Recycled Kids’ Crafts

Tissue Box Guitar CraftDig through your recycle bin to come up with fun materials for recycled kids’ crafts. Whether you want to make jingle bells, a rockin’ guitar, or a cool drum, you don’t have to run to the store to buy materials. Make it easier and look around your home for something that can be turned into a musical instrument. Take an old tissue box and turn it into a Tissue Box Guitar Craft. Strum out different chords and pretty soon you’ll feel like you can play your own rock song.
