How to Make the ‘x’ for xylophone:

  1. Cut out a lowercase ‘x’ from a black foam sheet. To make the letters go along with the uppercase letters we’ve done in the past, this letter was cut from a piece of foam that was about 3” x 4”.
  2. Cut out bars for the xylophone using colored craft sheets. Have your bars vary in length.
  3. Make a small mallet to hit your xylophone using a thin piece of gray foam and a small dot for the tip of the mallet.
  4. Glue the bars onto the xylophone and the round tip to the top of the mallet.
  5. Listen to a real xylophone play at DSO Kids.
