Key Wind Chime

By: Tania Cowling

Difficulty: Very Easy

Age: 5 and up

Parental supervision is recommended

Gather those old keys collecting dust on bookshelves and in dresser drawers and help your child create his very own wind chime. A child will receive satisfaction by making this craft, but don't forget that the visual and auditory effects will stimulate babies, too. Place a wind chime close to (but well out of reach from) the baby's crib or playpen for even your youngest to enjoy.

What you'll need:

  • Small aluminum pie pan
  • Hole punch
  • Yarn, heavy string, or durable ribbon
  • Old keys

How to make it:

  1. Take a small aluminum pie pan and punch a few holes around the rim.
  2. Then thread yarn or heavy string into three of the holes to make a tripod hanger.
  3. In the remaining holes, thread lengths of yarn in varying sizes; then tie a key at the bottom of each string.
  4. Hang this wind chime in a breezy spot and wait for the tinkling sounds.
