My kids and I decided to make some shakers the other day. I didn't really know how to do it but it wasn't too hard to figure out. The kids had so much fun I grabbed the camera to write up a tutorial. There may be a tidier way to do this but they worked just fine and my kids have been making music ever since!
MATERIALS:
-toilet paper tubes
-construction paper
-masking tape
-glue
-scissors
-paint (or something else to decorate the shakers with)
-things to fill the shakers (I used dried pasta rings, dried lentils, and dried rice)
Cut a piece of construction paper in half. Then cut off about 4 - 5 inches at one end.
Using the 4-5 inch piece you cut off, lay it over one end of the toilet paper tube. Tape down opposite corners. Then, tape down the other two corners.
To smooth out the "cap" simply place another piece of tape parallel to the edge of the tube. Fold down the paper and tape the excess down as you rotate the tube in your hand until the cap has been smoothed down around the edges.
