DIY Harps (10 Pack)

DIY Harps let kids build and decorate their own mini musical instruments for a hands-on music-themed craft that turns creativity into sound and makes everyone feel like a tiny composer.

Create Mini Harps For A Music Craft Kids Can Play

DIY Harps are the perfect craft for music lovers because kids do not just decorate something, they actually create an instrument they can use. After assembling their harp, kids can pluck the strings to make sound, experiment with different tones, and feel like they built something real.

This craft works beautifully for classrooms, camps, music programs, and after-school groups because it combines art and music in one project. Kids can decorate their harps with bright colors, patterns, and designs, then use them for rhythm activities, music lessons, or fun performances.

DIY Harps are also a great choice for VBS programs or holiday themes because music crafts fit so naturally into celebration weeks. Whether you are doing a music-themed unit or just want a craft that is different and interactive, this one is a crowd-pleaser.
