Maracas  Music project: how to make maracas

These maracas are made from leftover yogurt containers. Here is a simple (and inexpensive) kids' crafts idea to keep children busy and add some rhythm to any child's birthday celebration. Olé!

Supplies
Tools
  • Strong glue
  • Scissors
  • Big needle
Materials
  • Colored yogurt containers (2 per maraca)
  • Pebbles, rice, lentils, beads, or small bells
  • Colored ribbon (about 20 cm/8 inches)
Directions
  • Wash the yogurt containers.
  • Round the pointed corners on the lid.
  • Place some pebbles (rice, lentils, beads, or little bells to vary the sound) inside the first container.
  • Pierce a hole in the bottom of the second container with the help of a needle. Fold the ribbon in half and pass it through the hole, fold-side-first. Hold the ribbon in place by tying a knot at the fold inside the container.
  • Apply glue to the opening of both yogurt containers and fit them together.
  • Keep them firmly pressed together throughout the entire drying time.
