Home made Maracas

Instructions:It's easy to make these rattlers for your kids that are fun to shake to the beat of their favorite music. There are two fun ways to create maracas: (1)The first is to fill plastic easter eggs with either rice or beans and close. Kids will have fun helping you fill the eggs. If you're making this for a baby, I suggest taping the two pieces of the egg together so the beans don't accidentally come out and pose a choking hazard. (2)The second way is to take 2 paper plates and use a stapler to staple the two paper plates together at the edges. Leave a two inch opening to fill the maraca with rice or beans. After filling the maraca, finish stapling the two plates together. get out the crayons or magic markers and let your child decorate their new instrument!
