Easter Egg Shakers

ages 4-6

Supplies

Plastic egg, rice, beans, pasta, glue, markers, stickers

Activity Detail

If you find yourself with too many plastic Easter eggs, try making this quick musical instrument with your child! Pick out an egg or two, and fill it halfway full with uncooked rice, beans, or small dried pasta. Glue the halves together with a strong glue (this is a job for mom or dad), and let your preschooler shake to the music! Your child might even want to add some designs to the egg shaker with markers and stickers.
