My 8-year-old LOVES to be creative and make things. His smart little brain comes up with the most amazing things, like a miniature golf course made from a few Amazon boxes, duct tape and plastic cups.
While he probably could have come up with this particular project on his own, he actually made it at a recent Cub Scout meeting. I had him re-create the process so I could share it with you! It's easy and takes just a few craft supplies you likely already have at home.
STEP 1: Gather materials:

STEP 2: Cut two (2) strips out of the paper, approximately one-inch wide by three inches long, and tape closed (shown by blue tape in pictures). | |
STEP 3: Using one popsicle stick and one rubber band, stretch the rubber band lengthwise around the stick. | |
STEP 4: Slide one paper band on each end of the same stick, about one inch in. | ![]() |
STEP 5: Stack the two popsicle sticks so the banded stick is on top. | |
STEP 6: Take the two remaining rubber bands and twist one tightly around each end of the stacked sticks, not touching the paper band. | ![]() |
FINAL STEP: Blow through the middle portion of the harmonica to produce a fun buzzing sound! | ![]() |
