Craft a traditional wooden wind chime, once used to send messages and ward off evil spirits, plus your own wooden butter knife.

How did people communicate with each other from a distance before there were telephones? The wind chime, with its resonant sound, has also been called the “original telephone.” A wind chime is an elongated wooden board that, when spun, produces a sound that carries far. 

This sound was used to send messages, scare away wild animals, for example, and the noise was also believed to protect people from evil spirits. Making a wind chime is a task well suited to teenagers, but parents may want to assist their children.

In addition, during the workshop, you can make your own wooden butter knife, which is nice to use at home later.

Kuidas said inimesed eemalt teineteisega suhelda kui telefone veel ei olnud ?. Tuulevurri oma kõmiseva heliga on nimetatud ka algseks telefoniks. Tuulevurr on piklik puidust lauake, mida keerutades tulev heli kostub kaugele. Selle heliga sai saata teateid, peletada näiteks metsloomi ning selle mürinaga kaitsti end ka halbade vaimude eest. Tuulevurri tegemine on  noorukitele vägagi võimetekohane, kuid lapsi võiksid abistada lapsevanemad.

Lisaks saad töötoas valmistada endale puidust määrdenoa, mida on mõnus hiljem kodus kasutada.
