Just 2 sticks and a bit of plastic makes this fun toy. It's not the most tuneful of musical instruments. In fact it only plays one squeaky little note, but for youngish children it's a lot of fun.
Supplies:
- 3 wooden lolly/Popsicle sticks
- 2 small hair elastics or loom bands
- small piece of cellophane
- scissors
- Optional sticky backed decorations

Steps:
- Snip a little off the end of one of the sticks.

- It will probably splinter into smaller pieces, but that's OK.

- Take a small piece of cellophane packaging and cut it to fit the length of a stick.

- Put it to your mouth and blow through the gap between the sticks. The cellophane will vibrate and make a noise
