Many toddlers and kids love to shake things - even toss things over a highchair or table. This is a great shaking instrument to entertain little ones, especially for babysitting excursions.
Steps
-
Wash and dry the laundry caps with hot water and soap really good. Make sure that there is no leftover detergent in or around the caps.
-
Measure and pour the rice or kernels into one cap. The amount you use will determine the noise of the shaker, so less things will make a lighter sound and more things will make a heavier sound.
-
Place glue on both cap rims. Stick them together and hold tightly until the bond sticks.
-
Shake the cap shaker for enjoyment and fun.
Tips
- Wrap the caps with colorful duct tape after gluing for decoration.
Warnings
- Always have an adult be responsible of glue guns, etc.
Things You'll Need
- 2 clean laundry detergent caps, same size (colorful ones preferred)
- 1/3 cup of uncooked rice or unpopped popcorn kernels
- Hot or super glue
- Duct tape (or colored tape)
