Learning benefits
- 💡 Participants will develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through cutting and assembly. They will also engage in creative expression by decorating their instrument, fostering imagination and artistic abilities.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ Adult supervision is recommended, especially when using scissors or a craft knife. Ensure children use blunt-tip safety scissors for cardboard cutting. Avoid direct contact with glow-in-the-dark paint if using, though stickers are preferred for this age group. Do not put any small parts in the mouth.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Collect all cardboard scraps and discard them in a recycling bin. Tidy up the work area, putting away glue, scissors, and any unused decorative materials. Wipe down the table surface to remove any stray glitter or glue residue.
