This past week was music week at Edison Park. The kids were asked to create an instrument from scratch and perform a short song. Kindergarten was assigned string instruments so I asked Maddie which one she wanted and she immediately said "A guitar...like Rainbow Dash!". Yup, still in that phase. You may recall she was this creature for Halloween (and wants her birthday party to be said theme...ugh). The thing with kids is once they latch onto something, it will permeate every corner of their existence until you want to rip your eyeballs out or your ears off. Let It Go...anyone??
MMMMMkkkk, so A: I have not a clue how to make anything functioning from a cardboard diaper box and B: the thing has to actually make sound. Gulp. I can, however, use a glue gun and some paint like nobody's business so a few rubber bands, burned fingers and some blingy stickers added by the girl herself later, VOILA! A guitar...ish.
She said hers was the coolest in the class (duh) but Mrs. Lantz (her music teacher) mentioned her song was a bit long. You just can't interrupt an artist when they're mid-jam.....
