Make a natural whistle
Getting creativeUnder 15 mins
What to do
Pick a reed or wide blade of grass (the wider the better). Hold the blade of grass between your thumbs with it running in the same direction as your thumbs. Blow into the gap between your thumbs. Don’t worry if it doesn’t work straight away. It takes some practice and part of the fun is in trying!
Things to think about
- Did you manage to get it to work?
- Did you know that reed instruments such as clarinets and saxophones work in the same way?
- Isn’t nature amazing?
