The sound of the rain stick is something that I love since I was little, so I want to share with you this video tutorial about how to make a homemade rain stick with elements that can be found in any house.
Building musical instruments with children is a most entertaining activity. It is beautiful to observe how music can be created from the recycling of objects.
Materials needed to make the rain stick
You will need:
A cardboard tube of kitchen paper roll. If you get a longer one like the cardboard tube where the fabrics are rolled, better still, but the one of the roll of kitchen paper serves perfectly. Of course, it has to be quite rigid.
Soy, lentils or rice, or any small seed.
A piece of cardboard
Glue gun
Moldable wire and pliers
Decorated napkin
Tail
You will see in the video that making a homemade rain stick is very easy, besides being very fun, you can even do it with children. If you dare you can join several rolls together to make a super water stick. The longer it is, the more durable the sound it produces.
Children will love to discover that they are able to make such a cool musical instrument with their own hands and become small luthiers. In addition, you teach them that with ingenuity and creativity you can make very interesting things. Do you dare to do it this weekend?
