Cardboard tube from a paper towel, toilet paper
or gift wrap roll
Rice or dried beans
Tape
Sheet of paper
Crayons, paint, markers or colored pencils
Create a musical shaker similar to a maraca or an African
shaker. A shaker makes a pleasant sound and is excellent for setting
a rhythm with less emphasis than a drum.
Take a cardboard tube of any length and seal one
end with paper and tape.
Fill the tube about one quarter full with dry rice
or beans.
Seal the other end with paper and tape.
Now decorate the shaker with bright colors and
designs.
