explore the science of sound with homemade instruments

 

Making homemade instruments is always a hit with the kids, but what I especially love about these particular DIY musical instruments is they make great STEM activities too.

By manipulating different parts of the creating process and music making process, children can explore the science of sound vibrations. Below you’ll find all kinds of homemade instruments perfect for both making music and exploring sound!
