Shaker
Make music with a shaker
Equipment: Small pot (e.g. yoghurt pot or probiotic drink container), dried food such as rice/lentils/small pasta shapes,
sticky tape, stickers if you have them, paper
Get a clean yoghurt pot or small plastic tub and remove any labels
Let the kids add a mixture of dried foods such as rice, lentils, small pasta shapes, dried peas etc but don't fill the tub more than half way
If you want you can make a funnel so the dried foods go straight into the pot without spilling.
Just roll a piece of paper into a cone, hold it together with sticky tape and snip off the end so you have a hole for the dried food to go through
Place a piece of paper just larger than the top of your tub over the opening, push the sides down and stick around the sides with sticky tape.
You can also place strips of sticky tape over the top of the paper to make the lid stronger
Let the kids add stickers to decorate or if you don't have any stickers let them colour small pieces of paper which you can then stick onto the shaker with sticky tape
Let the music begin ! Set the kids free with their shakers - it could get noisy !
