Lil man & I are always jamming out together in the morning. If you saw him rocking his hips to various songs we listened to, you would crack up! BIG TIME! He’s a mini Elvis in the making and I seriously wonder where he gets his moves from {cause Joe & I lack the dance gene!}

So to throw some fun into our jam sessions, I decided to make these fun noisemakers for him. Since Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner {May 5th} these would be a great addition to your celebration. Hence the name “Fiesta Rice Noisemakers.”

And the best part? Using those pesky plastic eggs left over from Easter, as well as some fun washi tape.

Ready to make them? I can almost guarantee you have most of the supplies in your house, making this an EASY & affordable craft.

Let’s grab our supplies and follow the full tutorial below! Happy crafting and making TONS of noise with your little ones today! #gluedtomycrafts

THE NOISEMAKER SUPPLIES:

Supplies: plastic eggs, plastic spoons {two for each egg} uncooked/dry rice, washi tape

THE DIRECTIONS:

First fill your plastic egg with some rice. A little bit goes a long way so don’t overfill it.

Close up your egg.

{If you want to make sure no rice EVER comes out of the egg, you can super glue it shut}

Then put your egg between two spoons, just like the picture above.

Wrap the spoon with washi tape, making sure the egg can’t escape.

{If you don’t have washi tape, painters tape would work too}

And you are done. Repeat for each noisemaker you want to make.

Now hand it over to your child & tell them to “shake, shake, shake!” The rice inside the egg makes a nice sound and the handle from the spoons, make it easy for your child to hold.
