YOU WILL NEED:
Cardstock Paper
Tacky Glue
Popsicle Stick
Crayons/Markers (Optional)
1. Fold one piece of cardstock accordion style. (The smaller the folds, the better)
2. Put glue on the points of one side of that folded paper.
3. Line it up and glue it down to the another flat piece of cardstock.
4. Children may decorate their instrument with crayon or marker if you wish.
The washboard can be played by rubbing the popsicle stick over the bumps.
*You could also drill a very tiny hole in the end of the popsicle stick, and use a hole punch to punch a hole in the paper on the guiro and attach both with a string to each other so the parts do not get separated.
Music Lesson:
-You can incorporate this into a lesson about Appalachian Mountain music and folk music
-You can also work this into a lesson on different guiro-type instruments... washboards, regular wooden guiros, wooden frog guiros, metal guiros, etc.
