Did you make an instrument out of glass? We did - and here are some songs we played with the glass instruments we made! Happy Holidays - from Andrew & Polly

Sara Louise Callaway from The Music Box, a podcast for kids about classical music from WUOL teaches Andrew & Polly how to make music with glasses. Andrew, who is legally blind, talks about his magnifying glass and how he sees differently. We love The Music Box!

What do you do when something cracks? Everett (from South Africa), Henry & Saul, Jackson & Beanie and Ainsley tell Andrew & Polly about things that break. Elizabeth Cochran (aka Dr. Earthquakes!) from the USGS talks seismology & L.A. Everett shares about how he cracked the bones in his arm. Some things crack by design - like eggs!
