A
flute is something that your child can have a lot of fun with.
With little effort they are able to create very, very loud
music. Something that you may have more fun with is if they
had a silent flute. Making a silent flute can be a fun craft
that your toddler can enjoy doing and playing a silent flute
will encourage them to use their imagination. |
| Step
1: Cut out a piece of construction paper that is the
length of the paper towel roll or toilet paper roll that you
are using. Make sure the piece of paper is going to me long
enough that it will wrap around that rolls as well. The color
of the paper is up to your toddler. |
|
| If
you toddler would prefer a long flute and you don't have any
paper towel rolls you can tape two toilet paper rolls together.
|
| Step
2: Using a crayon, colored pencil or pen help your
toddler draw in the holes for the flute. Depending on the size
of the roll will determine the number dots that you will need.
Leave about a fourth of the of a toilet paper roll size flute
blank as you will be creating a mouth piece. |
|
Your
toddler can have fun drawing the dots on the flute and can
choose to make them which ever colors they want. |

3: To make the mouth piece you will need to make two
cuts in the side of the roll just behind the dots that you have
made. Then with the help of your toddler press down on the roll
to create an hour glass shape for the mouth piece of the silent
flute. |
|
Now
the silent flute is ready to be played with. Your young child
can have a blast pretending that they are playing music. You
can even play some |
| classical
music for your toddler and they can pretend that they are playing
the wind instruments of the music. This will encourage them
to use their imagination as well as introduce them to some classical
music if you are not already listening to it. |
