A flute is something that your child can have a lot of fun with. With little effort they are able to create very, very loud music. Something that you may have more fun with is if they had a silent flute. Making a silent flute can be a fun craft that your toddler can enjoy doing and playing a silent flute will encourage them to use their imagination.
Step 1: Cut out a piece of construction paper that is the length of the paper towel roll or toilet paper roll that you are using. Make sure the piece of paper is going to me long enough that it will wrap around that rolls as well. The color of the paper is up to your toddler. If you toddler would prefer a long flute and you don't have any paper towel rolls you can tape two toilet paper rolls together.
Step 2: Using a crayon, colored pencil or pen help your toddler draw in the holes for the flute. Depending on the size of the roll will determine the number dots that you will need. Leave about a fourth of the of a toilet paper roll size flute blank as you will be creating a mouth piece. Your toddler can have fun drawing the dots on the flute and can choose to make them which ever colors they want.
Step 3: To make the mouth piece you will need to make two cuts in the side of the roll just behind the dots that you have made. Then with the help of your toddler press down on the roll to create an hour glass shape for the mouth piece of the silent flute. Now the silent flute is ready to be played with. Your young child can have a blast pretending that they are playing music.
You can even play some classical music for your toddler and they can pretend that they are playing the wind instruments of the music. This will encourage them to use their imagination as well as introduce them to some classical music if you are not already listening to it.
