Music Craft for Kids: Straw Windpipe
Today we’re making music with a straw windpipe craft that kids can make themselves. This fun little instrument takes very few supplies and can be put together in just a few minutes. Pair it with our DIY rainstick for even more noisy fun! Creating music whether with a straw, shaker, kazoo or DIY drum is a great way to get kids learning music counts, listening to different pitch sounds, and just having fun with sound!

- At least 8 plastic straws
- Scissors
Directions
- Layout a piece of tape
- Stick the straws in line with the tape

Sadly our straws maybe were too small to make any sound difference. I would suggest using only very large diameter straws
