Make your own mini mandolin to play with the kids.
While built with objects easily found in a craft store, this project is a bit of a time investment (couple of hours), particularly when prepping all the wood pieces (think: sawing, sanding, and some drilling). But my kids were amazed when everything came together in the form of bright, colorful instruments. Aside from the steps involving power tools and sharp blades, kids can easily get involved in this project with sanding, painting, and assembly.
