If there is something that most children like, it is music and dance. With these two learnings, will favor your body movements like your balance. In addition, they are a very good source of joy.
Well today, I have brought you this very simple craft so that at any time there is music and fun at home, through these maracas made with yogurt cups.
Materials
- 2 glasses of yogurt.
- 2 wooden sticks.
- Scissors.
- Silicone.
- 2 balloons.
- 2 elastic bands.
- Rice.
- Basins (decorative elements to choose from).
Our Process
First of all, to make these maracas, we will have to wash the cans very well or glasses of yogurt, in addition to removing the labels and traces of glue. Then, with the scissors, we will make a small hole in the lower part of the glass, the same thickness as the stick. Later, we will apply a little silicone and insert the stick and let it dry for a long time.
Once dry, we will introduce rice in the glass so that when shaking it the music is heard, and we will place the lower part of a balloon, which we have cut out before. To secure this, we will place an elastic band just around the neck of the glass.
Finally, we will be hitting the Decorative elements to the glass or pot. In this way, the maraca will be more striking and more attractive. Now we just have to shake it to see if they sound good.
