After you have decorated and tuned your water glass instrument, join musician Dave Jadico as he teaches you how to play our exclusive water glass song, "Tiny Tea Cups."

Popsicle sticks
6 Drinking glasses
Pitcher of water
Food coloring
Colorful stickers

REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ALONE.

  1. Tune your glasses by pouring a different amount of water into each glass. More water in the glass means a lower pitch when you tap on it. Tap on them with one of your Popsicle sticks as you pour to know when you have the right pitch for each.
  2. Decorate your glasses with stickers to jazz them up a bit.
  3. Add different food coloring to the water in each glass in order to color code your notes.
  4. Play songs on your glasses by tapping on the tops of each glass with your Popsicle sticks.
