New Year’s Noisemaker Craft Supplies:

* 2 Large 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 up their Styrofoam cup noisemaker, to make some noise in celebration of the holiday!
