You Will Need:
Paper plates, beans or rice, stapler
Directions:
Children paint or decorate the bottom side of two plates. Put the plates right sides together and help your child staples around the perimeter. After the plates are mostly attached to each other, your child can fill them with beans or rice. Finish stapling them together so that the beans or rice do not spill out. You might take turns shaking and tapping out rhythms.
Tip:
Notice and comment on the difference in sounds between rice, beans or perhaps small pebbles. Watch for choking hazards at all times when using beans or other small items. Family members can make different instruments and create a band or have a parade. Notice and comment on the difference in sounds between rice, beans or perhaps small pebbles.
