What are some musical instruments that children can make at home?
My son had a music class in school and one day they made musical instruments. He didn’t get to bring his home, but he really enjoyed making those. He described some to me, but I haven’t got a clue. I want to do this project with him at home. What are some simply, yet fun musical instruments we can make from items around the house?
