Make a Kazoo with Toilet Paper Tubes

Video Transcript

" Hello I'm Annie Brunson on behalf of Expert Village. We are learning about making musical instruments out of everyday items. Today we are going to make a kazoo. You will need to find towel roll holder, some wax paper or parchment paper, a rubber band elastic band, and some thing to actually punch a hole you could use scissors a sharp pen would work also. First thing you are going to do is you are going to cut a circle a little bit bigger then the toilet roll so I'm going to mark off the circle just around it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm going to cut it out. Next thing you are going to do you are going to put it over the end and put on a elastic band. You know you want to try to keep the paper as tight as possible and as smooth as possible. So once you got the parchment paper nice and smooth and put on your elastic band. It is good not to have it elastic band to thick. These would actually be to thick. If they are to strong they would crush the toilet roll so it need to be a fairly thin one. Next thing you are going to do is you are going to make little hole just below where you put your elastic band so I'm going to trim a little bit of this paper away. So you take some either some scissors or a sharp pen and you actually push push them in to make a hole right below where the rubber band is. So then you put your lips to the open end and you sing. "
