This is a fun and easy project for the littles!
Not to mention inexpensive :)
We've been enjoying a late Fall here with temps still in the 70's.
Making the most of spending time outside while we can.
Sticks are always a magnet with little ones aren't they?
We decided to do something useful with them
After each choosing the "perfect" stick they were brought in
The painting began
Each had to be the perfect color ;)
Some pretty unique colors came out in mixing and creating
While the sticks dried, they painted the keys.
I tied the strings onto the sticks for them
Added a drop of Super Glue to each knot
Let everything dry thoroughly
They keys were added to the bottom of the strings
Each string received a beautifully colored key
Here they are in all their glory!
The littles were so excited to hear them tinkle in the breeze!
What a lovely activity and so easy to do too. I think your little ones did a fab job!
