X is for Xylophone

• Sort the Color Strips
  1. Cut 1” strips from several colors of paper.
  2. Cut each one a different length (like the bars on a xylophone)
  3. Have the kids sort the strips from smallest to largest.
  4. Glue these to a blank paper to create their own colorful paper xylophone!

Xylophone

• Water Xylophone
  1. Use water glasses or quart jars to make a water xylophone.
  2. Fill each jar a little fuller than the last.
  3. Add food coloring to make each a color of the rainbow.
  4. Use different utensils (metal spoon, wooden spoon, plastic spoon, metal whisk) and see what different sounds it makes. We did this today with my 3-year-old and he loved it.
  5. TIP: Use a little bit of playdoh under each jar to keep them from sliding and wiggling around while you’re playing. Worked great!
