The next morning I noticed blue ink on my white leather sofa. What the heck? I examined it... backwards it read, STRAW FLUTE. A sighed a heavy, irritated sigh. Oh shoot. Well since this project was so important to me that I wrote it on my hand and created a new mess to stress over we might as well make the damn flutes...
So we did.
I have no idea if we did them 'right' but I know we had fun with the flutes for a few hours on a winter day.
I had 8 straws on hand, so we used all 8.
Then I secured them to one another with clear tape.
My son grabbed it and ran with it, he was having fun making noise, on a very small scale.
Excuse the poor quality of the photo I was literally chasing him to get a pic!
So there you have it folks! We made an easy peasy straw flute and the 4 year old was busy and happy for a few hours that day.
