The weather has been so good over the weekend and on Monday that the children did not want to sit still for circle time nor did they want to do a project. They wanted to play in the backyard.

So in observance of earth day I quickly made a little maracas for the babies to enjoy and engage in their sensory.

Tomorrow we will go planting seeds with the preschoolers:)

Use 3 empty plastic water bottles.

Add rice, azuki beans & pasta

Here they are all in bottle

I then put some tape over top to secure

I forgot to remove wrapper which I quickly did

I gave it to my toddler to test. If it pass inspection with him trust me it is safe for babies. Well quality control revealed it needed masking tape not the cellophane tape. So here I wrapped with gray masking tape

And the babies now have homemade maracas to enjoy
