Rock On!

Derek is forever creating or building something so when I saw this cardboard guitar idea on Make It and Love It I bookmarked it to show him after school.

He immediately (I'm talking before practicing his cello or doing homework) went to the garage to dig through the pile of cardboard that has been growing all winter for recycling. The tracing, cutting, poking, gluing and stringing began and by evening the boys were playing their new guitars.



Tuning them is not an option but Derek did manage to pluck out Mary Had a Little Lamb and did his best to teach it to Nathan. It didn't sharpen his cello skills any but we considered the entire project his music practice for the night.
