With all this rain going on here in the UK, we’ve been spending lots of time indoors. While I love watching the rain when I’m inside and dry, I can’t say that Anya feels the same. She is restless. So we’ve been having a few play dates, more tv than we should 😉 and lots of DIY and crafting time. Of all the stuff we’ve made, Anya has most enjoyed making this DIY water xylophone that she spotted on Cbeebies.
It’s such an easy and pretty DIY that I thought I would share it here. Simply let your kids fill 6-8 plastic or glass bottles with different amounts of water. Mix in some paint, in the colours of your choice, and your musical instrument is ready. Tap with a spoon or similar to explore the different musical sounds. Anya made her water xylophone in a pastel palette which I thought was so pretty!
Your right it’s so pretty! Wishing you some sunshine soon!
Thank you! I’m also wishing for some sunshine soon!
This is just wonderful, love the colours you’ve used and how absolutely stunning this post, like all your others is. We must try it, yay for Cbeebies and you making it so pinnable. We’ve had a fair bit of sun here in Yorkshire although not today. Booh! x
Thank you lovely. I have to say all the colour choices were Anya’s and she made it all by herself. Such a simple thing but so fun – she played for ages! We are having endless rain here – boo, boo, boo! xx
This looks very cool, and can imagine making with Isabelle… sadly can also imagine spilling all the bottle while being super excited! x
Ha, ha – yes there is that danger but so fun too x
