Straw Horn

What you’ll need:

  • Straw
  • Scissors

How to make a Straw Horn:

  • Flatten straw on one end. Use your finger nail to flatten it really flat.
  • Take your scissors and cut about 1/2″ on the top of the flat part into a triangular point.
  • Be sure it isn’t stuck together.
  • Put your mouth over the end, past the triangle.
  • Blow really hard. It will honk like a goose.

The fatter and longer the straw, the lower the pitch. The shorter the straw, the higher the pitch. Try different straws and different lengths and make a straw horn band.
