Yellooow,
This is a special DIY for Mama’s and Papa’s who are NOT scared away by a little « music » making…
Normally, my 2 1/2 years old daughter has music lesson on Friday. But this Friday, because school is closed, she is super sad not to be able to play drums on the floor.
Ok.
I look around, and BAM, Maracas idea !
So this is the materials that I collected:
- Empty boxes, or empty toilet paper roll.
- Tape (strong one!)/glue/scissors/coloured paper (must be a little bit cardboard-ish).
- Rice/quinoa/pasta/bulgur… it depends what you have in your pantry.
And now, the fun part:
- Be sure that one side of the box/toilet paper roll is safely sealed. I cut a piece of paper, blocked one exit and tape it around.
- Fill the box with your rice/pasta. I would say it was 2-3 of my daughter’s hand’s full.
- Seal the other side of the box.
- Wrap paper around in a Christmas-wrapping-kinda-care. And have fun decorate with Washi tape for instance, or drawings, ..
- SHAKE IT like you are in a Maracas Band Camp!
Tape one side to secure the maracas
Or use these little hand hands to fill up the tube with rice.
Close one side, then the other, easy peasy
Almost done, the principal is there.. ready to make some noise !
Glue-paper-scissors… and Fluo-Pink paper !
And here they are, ready to make some noice
Hope you will enjoy as much as I did,
Have a shac-shac day,
Cheers,
MC
