Another Rain Maker

This one is smaller than the last one. I finally found a cardboard tube that was thick. I tapped nails into the tube all around it.

Then instead of using construction paper this time I just taped the end up really well. I added some ABC noodles and tape up the other end.

Now you can decorate it any way that you want. Little Man wanted the rainbow paper on his so we taped it around the tube.

Little Man helped with this part (which is why the paper looks crinkled!) But he had a lot of fun helping to make it. We also put letter stickers on the bottom of it that say rain.

Little Man absolutely loves these. He uses them A LOT when we listen to "shake my sillies out". That always a fun song for toddlers! These make a really neat sound and he really enjoys shaking them! Just be sure to supervise when you child is playing with them in case some of the rice or noodles fall out.
