Hi friends! Are you pulling out your hair trying to find something to keep the kids busy this New Year’s Eve?

OK – maybe not pulling out your hair per say – but maybe struggling a bit? Well, look no more because Glued To My Crafts is here to rescue YOU!

Today’s New Year’s Eve Noisemaker Kid Craft Idea is PERFECT to keep little ones busy for a bit while they make it, as well as keeping them busy as they shake it in celebration.

Best part? It’s made with simple supplies that are probably already in your home. It’s a double SCORE and super fun {I promise!}

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

New Year’s Noisemaker Craft Supplies:

* 2 Styrofoam Cups
* A Handful of Dried Beans {or dry rice}
* Painter’s Tape
* Dot Markers {or paint, markers, crayons, glitter etc}

Directions:

* Place a handful of dried beans in one cup.
* Take your second cup, turn it upside down and place in on top of the first cup.
* Now take your painter’s tape and tape the two cups together, making sure it won’t separate.
* To finish off the noisemakers, have your child decorate them however they want. {maybe even bring out the glitter to really make it sparkle}
* Once done, let them shake it up to make some noise in celebration of the holiday!
