Crafty Kids | New Year’s Not-So-Noisy Noise Makers

by Carla Wiking, posted on December 30th, 2013 in Arts & Crafts

I’m pretty sure sanctioned late night noise is one of the funnest parts on New Year’s Eve for little ones. So with that fun in mind, my son and I rounded up a few household items and got to work on these festive shakers. Want to make your own?

You’ll need:
Empty paper towel/toilet paper rolls
Foil
Decorative tape
Noisy bits (we used pennies, pebbles, and bells)

Step one
Close off one end of your roll with a few layers of foil attached with tape.

Step two
Fill your roll about 1/3 full of noisy bits.

Step three
Close off the other end with more foil and tape.

Step four
Decorate your tube with more tape.

Step five
Shake, Shake, Shake!

Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
