CARDBOARD TUBE SHAKERS
To make this shaker, you will need a cardboard tube, some waxed paper (or foil paper), some tape and some rice or small dried beans.

	Help your child cover one end of his cardboard tube with paper, then tape it into place.
	Next, have your child pour ¼ cup of uncooked rice or beans into the tube.
	Finally, cover the open end with paper and tape.
	Let your child decorate their shaker with stickers and marking pens.

PAPER SACK SHAKERS

	Give your child a small paper sack to decorate.
