Create rhythmic sounds and some musical magic with this fun and entertaining craft activity.

What You Need: 

One cardboard paper towel roll
Clear packing tape, or colorful craft tape
8.5” x 11” sheet of construction paper
Glue
Decorating materials like:
Paper cutouts, crayons, markers, puffy paint, glitter glue, pompoms
Rice or rice-shaped cereal (like Kellogg’s Rice Krispies)

What To Do: 

Decorate a sheet of construction paper with your own creative design. Wrap around the paper towel tube and secure with tape or glue.
On another piece of construction paper or thin cardboard, trace a circle around the open end of the paper towel tube, twice. Ask an adult to cut around these circles to make the end caps of your Sound Shaker.
Securely tape a circle onto one end of the paper towel roll.
Fill tube about halfway with rice or cereal. Securely tape the second paper circle into place to cover the open end of the Sound Shaker.
Shake it up! Kids can shake along to the rhythm of their favorite music, or make up their own songs to shake to, with their new Sound Shaker!
