Candy Maracas

This is the first project of my daughter in her day care. A musical instrument out of recyclable materials.

You need: Empty plastic bottle, used ribbon, used wrap, some small plastic pearl and teaspoon of monggo beans, and string to tighten the ends.

Help the kid put the small plastic pearls and monggo beans in the bottle. This may take a few minutes and your patience to the test. (Actually i did most of the work).

Wrap the plastic bottle with used wrap and secure both ends with string.

Tie the used ribbon to the ends.

She came home from school and she ask me why she had to leave her candy maracas in school. She enjoyed making her project that I had to tell her we will make another one. 

Work in progress......
