Music Man
- Gather your materials. You will need some cardboard, scrap piece of black construction paper, tape, sharp scissors, 3 metallic pipe cleaners, and lots of markers.

- Draw a simple guitar on the cardboard. Perfection is not required, as long as your child can guess that it’s a guitar you are fine.

- Have your color it with markers. I chose markers over paint because you have to wait for paint to dry and this is a project you want to play with immediately.

- Cut out the black oval for the hole while your child is coloring.

- Tape the oval on.

- Cut out the guitar.

- Poke 3 holes o the neck of the guitar, and 3 corresponding ones at the base.

- Thread your pipe cleaners through , bend and tape the pipe cleaners on the back side.

- Tape over the tape a few times so the pipe cleaners are secure and no sharp bits can peek through.

- Rock out!

Books !
“This Jazz Man” by Karen Ehrhardt is my new favorite book. The book updates the classic children’s song “This Old Man” and inserts all different men in a jazz band, however at the end of the book it explains that each jazz man is actually a real person including Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and more! I love the bios at the end of the book because I want to learn more about jazz too. Ok back to the book, the book itself is a counting book,and my son eats it up, he loves calling out the number and instrument as I read the rhyme. He has had me read it countless times today and I haven’t minded one bit,the pictures by R.G. Roth are adorable, and all in all I just love this book!
