Rain sticks and Jazzy bottles

The good thing about grey days is that you can stay in and have your friends over and get busy with the glitter and glue.  Today we had great fun making rain sticks and jazzy bottles, both very simple to do for young toddlers.


Rain sticks what you need
Postal tube from post office
Crayons or paint to colour the outside
Sticker and gems to decorate the outside
Rice and lentils to make a good noise inside

Very simply get creative and colour your tube in add the stickers and gems then create a noise by adding the rice and lentils. so simple and makes a great noise.

Jazzy bottles what you need
Bottle
Beads
Sequins
Glitter
Shiny stars

Of course you don't have to use the above just anything that will look interesting in a bottle when it is shaking up.  This is even more simple than the rain sticks and little fingers just love practising their co ordination of popping  little bits and bobs into the neck of the bottle, simply seal up with some glue then shake and watch all the pretty bits float about.
