Noise Blower


Materials

  • Empty cardboard tube (toilet paper or paper towel rolls)
  • Wax paper
  • Elastic band
  • Crayons, markers, ribbon, stickers, fabric, construction paper, and other items for decoration

Directions

  1. Cover one end of a cardboard tube with a piece of wax paper, using an elastic band to hold the wax paper in place.
  2. Blow and hum into the uncovered end to make a vibrating sound.

Older children can make this for themselves, decorating the tube with crayons, markers, stickers, scraps of ribbon, fabric, or construction paper.
