Maracas from Recycled Materials



This is a maracas / noisemaker / shaker I crafted out of empty yogurt container that I painted using a plastic paint and the handle is made of rolled weekly ads then wrapped it with some colorful paper. I placed about a tablespoon of unpopped popcorn inside or beans or some pebbles will do too or even sand to make the sound. The lid on top is from an old disposable table cloth and a piece of rubber band to hold it in place. Make sure the rubber band is tight enough or snug to make sure the beans doesn't spill out.

Your kids will definitely enjoy this and will keep them occupied for awhile =) Get ready with your earplugs though as they might shake it unceasingly!!!

Why throw those materials when you can transform them into some projects?!

Have fun =)
