DIY Popsicle Stick Harmonica

Hi everyone. For this week's musical craft I will be showing you how to make a harmonica using popsicle sticks or tongue depressors.
This is a super fast craft that your children can customize very easily.
Here's what you'll need:

• Rubber Bands. I got a bag of colored rubber bands in different size at Dollar General
• Popsicle Sticks. These are from Michaels. You can unfinished ones and color them with tempera, markers or spray paint.

• Cardstock
• Tape
• Scissors

First, cut two small squares from the card stock, between 1 and a half and two inches. Fold them three times and stick one piece of rolled tape on each folded square. You want to make sure you have there is tacky part all over as you'll be sticking the paper to both of the popsicle sticks.

You can write your child's name with glitter glue, decorate the sticks with stickers stickers, draw on them or use a stencil.

Stick the squares to one popsicle stick and wrap a large rubber band on the other. Place the stick with the rubber band over the one with the card stock squares and secure the ends by wrapping a thinner rubber band on both ends.

To play, place your mouth on the harmonica with the single rubber band facing up. By pinching the ends, inhaling or biting on the harmonica, it will play different pitches.

Here are some examples of great harmonica playing. Enjoy!
