How to Create Homemade DIY Castanets Instrument Craft for Kids – Fun and Educational

Making Homemade Castanets

Jaime and her kiddos have been having so much fun making homemade instruments! Recently, we made homemade CASTANETS! This is a simple craft that lasts! My kids have been playing these now for a few weeks and they are still making great sound and holding up!

Here is what you will need:

  1. Thick cardboard – cut into strips
  2. Bottle Caps
  3. Hot glue gun and glue
  4. Crayons, markers, stickers, etc – anything you want to decorate with

Once you have made your castanets, hop over to our YouTube channel and find a song to play along to! Check out our Pinterest Page for other music instrument craft ideas!
