Want your little kids to explore and be more active outdoors? Then you’ve got to give them something really fun and entertaining, like this DIY outdoor music wall!
There are many ways to create an outdoor music wall/sound wall. You can use your existing fence or build something to mount the ‘musical instruments’ on, such as the 2×12 timber you see above. You can also buy peg boards or other items like a pallet.
This DIY play equipment is very inexpensive, too! Anything that makes a good sound when hit by the ‘drum stick’ can be mounted on this wall. So simply search through your old items/recycling bin – you don’t need to buy new materials for this project! You can even use scrap PVC pipes from a previous DIY project or parts of a broken musical instrument or toy, like the xylophone.
As long as you put everything together so that they’re secure, this DIY outdoor music wall is a great play equipment your kids will surely love!
