There is no like a grandfather to teach children to recover old handmade toys. Today, thanks to my father and my son I teach you today a fun craft that does just that: bring us back those toys that children made with their own hands when there was no money or as many products as now. Is about a flute made of caneto.
We will need a piece of thick cane That is very straight and a cork. To work, if the child is small, we will help him with the punch to empty it perfectly and cut it into a wedge in the mouth. In the hole we will introduce a cork and then we will make some holes in the cane so that we can cover them and get different sounds.
The cork and the mouthpiece must also have a small frog that must be in the same position, which will be where the air will enter, and the finger holes must be separated by a centimeter or two. It would be convenient for the holes to be made more than with a punch with a hot iron, to prevent them from peeling and getting them regular.
Children can help us in the manufacture of the instrument depending on their age and ability with cutting instruments, but simply, participating in the construction collaborating is an activity that they will love, although the sound is not perfect.
The reed flute is one of the first instruments that human beings made and when we do it, we can explain the importance of music in ancient cultures. With this fun craft in which we will make a reed flute Learning is guaranteed.
