Pretend Play Microphone Craft Idea For Kids

My son is REALLY BIG into music right now. Pretty much everything that he touches is a drum and he’s constantly dancing around, making a beat, to his own tune. It’s actually quite cute to watch him. Sometimes I’m even in ah of his talent.

Because of this, I recently decided to make him a little something to keep him busy – aka entertained for a few minutes while I tried to get some work in for Glued To My Crafts.

I wanted to keep whatever I made as cheap as possible AND with little-to-no steps. After all – I was trying to get back to work since I’ve lost my previous alone time since school has been out for the summer 😉

So if you guessed, that is how I came about making this pretend play microphone. I used recycled materials in our home so it literally cost me nothing but a few minutes of my time.

If this is something you would like to make for your child today, keep scrolling below for a super quick tutorial. Then, when you make your own, come share pictures of it on our Facebook page so we can admire what you did! Happy crafting {and making sweet music with your child!} my dear friends! #gluedtomycrafts

TO MAKE YOUR OWN MICROPHONE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS:

All it is a large clean paper towel roll, cut down a bit with scissors and then I hot-glued a tin foil wrapped styrofoam ball one end. Then I covered the paper roll with gray cardstock {for a nicer look} and we had a microphone within minutes! The last step was the drawn on “buttons” on one side, with a Sharpie marker.

BAM – five minutes of entertainment and the future lead singer of a band!

Although I didn’t get much silence after making it and handing it over {I should have known this!} it was worth creating, since his imagination is going wild with his new instrument.

Hopefully you are inspired to make it too! Don’t forget that old coffee cans make for awesome drums too and rubber bands on an empty Kleenex box is a great guitar too!
