Yeehaw Guitar

Now that I'm living in the South again I thought it was time to introduce Gage to some guitar pickin'. I think its something every little growing country boy needs to know. After all, Nashville is only 2 and 1/2 hours away. In this craft we have a guest-maker. Ambur is the one helping Gage through out while I am snapping pictures(for the most part. I did step 7 and all I can say is ouch!).

Guitar

Materials:

Cereal Box

Brown Contruction Paper

Black Contruction Paper

Any Color Contruction Paper

Glue

Crayons

Pipe Cleaners

Scissors

Paper Towel Roll

Directions:

Step 1: Glue the brown construction paper onto the cereal box. Your little one can help with that part.

Step 2:Have your little one color on the cereal box.

Step 3: While they are doing that wrap&glue the any color paper around the paper towel roll.

Step 4: Cut slits on the paper towel roll.

Step 5: Cut a circle out of the black construction paper and glue it on the cereal box.

Step 6: Cut a hole in the top of the cereal box so the paper towel roll can fit in there&tape the slits down into the inside of the cereal box.

Step 7: Make 8 holes into the cereal box the same size as the pipe cleaners.(be careful here I cut my finger! Ah)

Step 8: Attach the pipe cleaners to the cereal box.

And you are finished! Start the music makin'.

Note: This project would be fun for older kiddos. If you have younger ones like my Gage then I would suggest heading on over to No Time For Flash Cards to make an easier guitar!
