Ruth shares these instructions for making red and white noise makers using paper plates.

• Age Guideline: 5 Years and Up
• Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

• 2 Paper Plates
• Crayons, Markers, or Paint
• Dried Beans

• Stapler

Instructions:
Decorate the paper plates using red and white crayons, markers, or paint. You can also add streamers, maple leaf stickers, etc.

Put one paper place on the table, with the right side up. Place the other paper plate on top of the first one, right side down. This will make a gap in the middle. Start stapling the edges together. Leave an opening at the top to slide a handful of dried beans in (you can also use rice or unpopped popcorn!). Finish stapling it shut. You are now ready to make some noise!
