The following is a post \u00a0from Kristen<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

My inspiration for this project came from the movie \u201cThe Sound of Music,\u201d \u00a0where receiving a telegram from somebody sounded\u00a0 special, more special than just receiving a letter.<\/p>\n

Being a musical person myself, I find it very important to incorporate music into the lives of our children as much as possible.\u00a0 Therefore, I came up with the idea of crafting singing telegrams.<\/p>\n

I chose to make a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star<\/strong> telegram.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a simple felt envelope by taking apart a paper envelope that I had and using it as a pattern.<\/p>\n

I then used my hot glue gun to glue the envelope together.\u00a0 Sewing the envelope together is another option.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used some white felt scraps to make an address label and a stamp and used a yellow felt scrap\u00a0for a star decoration.<\/p>\n

I used ” Puff Paint”\u00a0 to paint the stamp and the address label.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I copied a copy of\u00a0 “Twinkle twinkle little star” from a music book that I found at the library.\u00a0 I glued the music to felt so it would match the envelope.<\/p>\n

I also cut out a felt star and glued it to a craft stick.\u00a0\u00a0Props can incease the fun of singing for a small child.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u00a0\u00a0placed everything in the envelope, and used a piece of velcro as a fastener.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can make singing telegrams for any<\/em> song you can think of!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I made singing telegrams for the songs “BINGO” and “My Favorite Things” as well, just so you can see how easy it is to think out of the box on this project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is an easy project.\u00a0 Singing telegrams are a great thing to have around.\u00a0 \u00a0Singing songs for people can be a very special thing for a child.\u00a0 These singing telegrams\u00a0are also a great way for children to learn how to read music and have fun!<\/p>\n
