New Years Noise Makers July 25, 2007

As if you really need noise-makers in an elementary school classroom!
Use toilet paper roll and put rice, beans, and rocks inside. Wrap it in wrapping paper so it looks like a bon-bon. Put a twisty-tie on each side and SHAKE!
Or, use two paper plates, put rice inside and staple together. Decorate the plates as you please and SHAKE!
