Comb Kazoo

This is an old favorite that's easy to make. All you need is a comb and some tissue paper.

   1. The best comb to use is one of those short pocket combs.
   2. Take a small piece of tissue paper - the kind people put in clothing boxes or gift bags during the Holidays. Fold the paper around the teeth of the comb.
   3. Hold the comb gently between your lips, making sure not to let the peper get wet, and hum.
   4. The vibration of your voice should cause the paper to rattle making a kazoo sound. Hum a tune you know and see how it sounds.
