Description

Make a cereal box guitar

Resources

empty cereal box
paper towel roll
3 rubber bands
scissors or craft knife
masking tape

Instructions

Make a guitar with your child from recycled materials you can find around the house.
Approximate Time: 5-10 minutes

Instructions:
1. First tape the top of your box closed. Now trace a circle in the middle of the cereal box, I used the masking tape roll to make my circle. Cut out the circle; if you have a craft knife it will be much easier then using scissors.
2. Use the craft knife to now cut an "x" shape at the center of the top of the box. Make sure it is large enough to push the paper towel roll through, but not so big that it falls right through. Now push the paper towel roll through the "x" that you cut. Make four small cuts at the end of the roll that is inside the cereal box.

Place tape over it and push it back up to the top of the box. Secure with extra tape inside and on top.

3. Now you can add your rubber bands. However, I could only find one rubber band in our house. So we used silly bands for the other strings.
