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.
