Make a Ukelele From a Laundry Detergent Bottle

I can't imagine there's a better first instrument for a kid than a ukulele. With its lilliputian body and only four nylon strings that tune to "My Dog Has Fleas," the humble uke just begs to be rocked by kindergartners like my daughter, Marigold. While I dream of her one day strumming "Aloha 'Oe" on the beloved Kamaka soprano ukulele I inherited from my maternal grandmother, I decided it might be fun for us to build a starter ax that is even easier to play (and less precious, you know, in case Goldie were to drop it).

Degree of Difficulty: 7/10

Ages: 6+

Build Time: 3 Hours

Parts Cost: About $25
