Do, 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.
Musical Instrument: Around the World
Each country has their own traditions and customs when it comes to music. Musical instruments from around the world are a great way to teach kids about cultures different than their own. American Indians are known for making rain sticks from materials found in nature. Experience a new culture by crafting these Native American Rain Makers. You can learn all about people that are different than you through music crafts for kids. Travel around the world without ever leaving your home with these musical instruments from around the world.

Music is all about expression, and there’s no better way to express yourself than through crafting. Channel your energy and creativity to make music art projects. You can hang your masterpiece up around your house for everyone to enjoy. Kids have their own style and their own way of doing things, so don’t be afraid to let it show through music art projects.

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.
