Didjeridoo, Didjeridoo now isnt that fun to say?? Our co-op had music on Firday and the kid each made their own Didjeridoo. If you happen to be wondering what on earth a Didjeridoo is, they are an Australian Aboriginal musical instrument. They have a very unique sound and are considered to be a wind instrument.This site has the sound playing if you would like to take a listen. http://didjeridoo.boustedt.com/  and here is one more site

Hope you listened, arent they cool sounding!

Traditionally, didjeridoos can be made from several types of eucalyptus tree which grow wild in much of Northern Australia. The trees are naturally hollowed out by termites, who eat up through the tree's soft center. It is these hollow trees that are selected by the Aborigines, cut down and turned into didjeridoos. They are used by Aborigines for secret ceremonies, initiation rites and social gatherings or ‘corroborees’.

Our didjeridoos are made out of sanded PVC pipe and painted with acrylic paints. They may not be the real thing but they are very cool and a big hit with all the kids in our co-op.

Here are some pictures of my very own Didjeridoo band members.

"Red1" who isnt red at all, with her beautifully painted Didjeridoo.

Next is "Red2", also not red!

Now for "Red3" and "Red 4" who are both really "red" LOL

And their master pieces(yes I know I spelled her name wrong!!! Guess, I was doing ten things at once, like normal. Silly Mom)

Now "Red 3" would like to show you his science experiment.

This is what happens when you remove your selt belt and stand up in a moving van that is coming to a stop!!! You keep moving even when the van has stopped! Do not try this at home folks!! And stitches in the head HURT!!

Boys!
