How to Make a Didgeridoo
Posted in Things to do
Okay, so my posting has fallen behind this past week or so. But I’ve left my flu-ridden bed behind finally, and hopefully will be back to posting every couple of days. And I know last time I posted I promised you a fun and easy Aboriginal craft or two. So here’s the first one. No special, hard-to-find-stuff required. Easy-peasy, with lots of fun involved.
Before you begin:
With your child, look at pictures of didgeridoos on the Internet. Search Google Images for “didgeridoo”.
With your child, watch performances of didgeridoo players. YouTube is a great resource. I’ve pulled a good one on my first didgeridoo blog (with things to talk about with your child while you watch as well).
How to Make a Didgeridoo
What you need:
A gift-wrap cardboard tube. If you’re feeling particularly handy and adventurous, a length of white PVC pipe (like the plumbers use). For children, 3 or 4 feet is an ideal length.
For decorating: (any or all of the following)
Steps:
How to play your didgeridoo:
It’s easy! To play your didgeridoo, stand or sit with the instrument straight out in front of you, with one end resting on the ground. Place your mouth inside the tube and make a loose motorboat sound with your lips.
