I use this resource when students are unable to participate in a performance or other activity. They are given the directions from this website (as well as others) to create their own instruments!

For any of educators brave enough to tackle homeade instruments in class, this site is great for step-by-step instructions on how to do so. Here, you can find 8 homeade instruments to create with your music students. The istructions are fairy simple to follow. I attempted this once while making homeade maracas with foil paper and rice. The instruments were fun, but the project was very messy. Perhaps, I can give it a shot again using these simpler techniques!
