11 Piano Craft For Kids
Introduction
Playing an instrument is a great way to stay active and learn about music, but it can be hard for kids to get started with an instrument. That’s where these craft ideas come in: they’re fun ways to teach your kids about the piano and keep them busy during the process.
Singing and Dancing
One of the best ways to get kids active and learn about music is through singing and dancing. Singing is a great way for children to learn about rhythm, as well as how music works in different cultures. The same goes for dancing! When you’re singing or dancing, you’re getting involved with an activity that requires physical effort—and that’s great exercise! It also helps your child learn to keep a beat, which will come in handy when they start learning other instruments later on.
Piano Music Race
If you’re looking for a fun way to integrate music into your daily routine, this is the game for you. The piano music race is a simple but challenging game that will get kids up and moving while they learn how to identify the notes on the keyboard.
The rules are simple: Students sit in a circle and take turns saying what instrument they hear (a piano or other instrument), followed by where they hear it: high or low and left or right of center (for example, “high note on the right side”). The challenge becomes more difficult when students must also add in which octave they hear it.
As students get better at identifying notes and octaves, they can move up through levels by playing faster versions of the game where notes are played at different intervals instead of together at once—and eventually even mixing different instruments together!
Piano Composing Game
What is the game?
This game is a fun way to let your child compose music on the piano. Children can compose their own pieces, as well as play pieces composed by others in the community. The community aspect of this game is important because it gives kids a sense of belonging and purpose: they have a place where they can create music with like-minded people (who might be better than they are!). This helps build confidence and self-esteem in young musicians. It’s also just plain fun! How do I play?
How do I play? First, find yourself some headphones or ear plugs (to protect little ears from getting damaged). Then pick out some notes on your keyboard using your mouse or trackpad (or even touch screen if you’re lucky). You can use any combination of keys as long as it makes sense musically; for example, if you want an F sharp major chord then press F# twice followed by E
Piano Finger Puppet
Finger puppets are also a great way to introduce kids to the concept of music, and can be used in storytelling. If you want your child to become familiar with the piano keyboard, you can show them where each key is located by creating a finger puppet that corresponds with each key’s color.
An important note: Even though there are many free tutorials online for making finger puppets, it is highly recommended that you purchase quality materials for this project if you’re using fabric. Children will be playing with these toys often and it’s best not to risk having scraps of material come off or fray from repeated use!

Tissue Box and Keys Piano Craft
To make a tissue box piano, you will need:
- A tissue box
- Clear tape or glue to put on the bottom of your tissue box (optional)
- Scissors to cut out keys from different colored paper
- Keys made out of popsicle sticks, craft sticks, or anything else sturdy enough to strike against your keys. You can also use a small piece of wood. Just make sure that it is not too heavy so that you can play it easily. If you decide to use something other than popsicle sticks as your keys, then make sure that they are not sharp and jagged edges because this could hurt someone’s fingers when playing with them!
Musical Goodie Bags
Goodie bags are a great way to reward the kids at your event. They can contain candy and other small gifts, or they can just be filled with candy. You may want to make your own goodie bags using craft supplies you have around the house, or you can buy them online.
Gift cards make excellent prizes for musical events and group classes as well. Students will love getting something they can use toward their favorite hobby!
Musical Sound Effects Game
The first game is called Musical Sound Effects Game. This is a fun way to keep your kids busy, entertained, and still teach them about music. The game can be played with a group of kids and it’s easy for both children and parents to play. You can set up this game in less than 5 minutes!
The idea behind this game is that each player chooses an object from around the house that makes a sound when hit (such as pots or spoons). Each player takes turns hitting the different objects until they hear one that makes a sound like another instrument (for example: hitting pot sounds like drum). The winner gets to choose which instrument they will pretend they are playing while everyone else pretends to be listening to them play their instruments.
Blue Danube Waltz by Strauss with Moving DIY Piano Keys
This is a fun craft that will teach kids about music, and it’s also a great way to introduce them to the piano. The key here is simplicity: It’s easy enough for young children to do by themselves, but it looks impressive when you put it together with another kid or two. This craft has been around for years and still attracts attention from both adults and kids.
The “moving keys” part of this project comes from some thin layers of acrylic plastic cut in the shape of piano keys (available at any art store). To assemble them, use double-sided tape or hot glue to secure each key over its matching hole. Then add candies (or other small objects) behind each hole so they’ll drop out when the key moves up.
DIY Piano-Themed Gift Bag Idea
Gift bags are a fun way to give gifts. They can be used for all sorts of occasions, and they’re great for kids. Gift bags can be used to give a gift or to hold a gift. A gift bag can be made out of many different materials, including paper, plastic and cloth. If you need some piano craft ideas for kids then I recommend making them their own personalized piano-themed gift bag with this simple tutorial!
This DIY project is so easy that even your little one will have no problem following along with it! All you’ll need is some plain paper (you can choose any color), scissors and glue stick (or tape). Place your child at an appropriate height where they’re able to reach the table without assistance–this ensures that there’s less risk that they’ll cut themselves while working on their project
Next step? You guessed it: let them cut out circles using those same scissors!! This part may take longer depending on how young/old they are but overall should not require much assistance from an adult It’s always important though when crafting with children under supervision (especially if there are any sharp objects). Once all the circles have been cut out we’ll move onto gluing them together into one large rectangle shape as shown above in our photo 3rd image down below titled “How To Make A Piano Craft Bag” section under “Materials Needed” heading which will create our finished product once dry!
For this project, you can use black paper or construction paper if you have access to colored pencils — but it will look better if you cover everything first with clear contact paper so all your marks are visible through the finished product.
These piano craft ideas are a fun way to keep your kids busy, entertained, and still teach them about music.
Although they may not know it, these activities are also a great way to keep your kids busy and entertained while helping them learn about music.

Conclusion
It’s always nice to make crafts with your children that can help them learn about music. I think these are some great ideas for teaching kids about how the piano works and what they can do with it. Maybe even make a quick trip to the store (or order online), get some materials together, and start crafting!
