   Making water bottle maracas!!

   Here's a creative way to use food in a music lesson to create different sounds:

   Place 2 tablespoons of noisemakers such as beans or rice into an empty, completely dry water bottle. Replace the lid tightly. 

   

   Decorate the water bottles with tissue paper, colour strips of paper, stickers and designs etc.  Once the any decoration has dried attach half a kitchen roll to the top of the water bottle over the lid using masking tape or electric tape. make sure this is secure. Cover the whole piece of kitchen roll with tape to secure it.

   

   
   

   Once this has been done turn the bottle over using the kitchen roll as the handle and shake, shake, shake!
