DIY Kid Noise Makers (that are quiet)!

 

I needed some noise makers for my kids favorite song.  This was the perfect solution because they make noise but it is oh so quiet!

 

 

 

 

First: take some rice

 

 

 

Second: Get tape. I used electrical and washi tape.

 

 

 

 

Third: Fill the eggs half way with rice and use the electrical tape to go around once or twice.

 

 

 

 

Fourth:  Use your washi tape for the finishing touch. 

 

 

 

The washi tape didn’t go around as easily as the electrical tape.  Next time I might try to find some white electrical tape and just use that instead.  I had all of these things at home so I don’t know what it would cost?  My husband might not be so happy with me that I use the electrical tape 🙂

 

 



Washi Tape

I taught my sons art class this year.  It is called the Great Artist Program.  We had some great works of art to draw.  It was a lot of fun to see how talented and creative these little kids are.  Even my son who doesn’t really like arts and crafts!

 

 

 

 

 

I created a little carry case for all the kids to take home their year worth of drawings.  I wanted the parents to have an idea of what the kids had done so I glued on the list.  It looked kind of boring at this point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To finish it off, I took my washi tape and taped around the orange.  So simple and yet I think it makes a huge difference.

 

 

Washi Tape

 

 

It has been an interesting week so far.  Our computer and camera both died on us!!  So sad and not so good for a blogger.  How do I take pictures and create post??  Well my cell phone is my current camera and I have great parents who let me borrow their lap top.  Sorry for the lack of post this week.

 

Now for the post…

 

I bought some washi tape several months ago from Pick Your Plum.  I didn’t know what I would use it for.  There are some great ideas out there, but I was waiting to figure out what I wanted to do.  The opportunity came.  It was my week to teach our co-op preschool.  We made these books for the kids.

 

 

 

I wanted to make them a little more fancy.  Not just construction paper.  And then it came to me to use the washi tape.  It was so easy to use and added just a little fun to each book.  It also helped on the back where the pins holding the book together were moving all around.
