Shaker


Supplies:
· Popsicle Stick
· 2-Applesauce or Fruit Single Serve Containers
· Glue (White Glue)
· Tissue Paper
· Dried Beans, Peas or Noodles
· Jewels or Other Items to Decorate the Shaker
· Tape
· Small Nail and Hammer (Adult Use Only)
· Small Paint Brush
· Aluminum Foil or Wax Paper
· Knife (Adult Use Only)
Directions:
1. With your hammer and nail, make a small hole in the bottom center of one of the fruit/applesauce containers. You can now slide your knife in the bottom of the container to make a slit for the popsicle stick. (Adults only!)
2. Insert the popsicle stick one inch and tape around the stick inside the container. (This will prevent the dried beans, peas or noodles from falling out.)
3. Put 1/8 cup dried bean, peas or noodles in one applesauce/fruit container.
4. Glue the two applesauce/fruit containers together. (top to top) Let dry.
5. Lay the aluminum foil or wax paper on your working surface. Put some glue on a piece of aluminum foil or wax paper and with your paint brush paint the glue all over the outside of the containers.
6. Rip tissue paper into pieces and lay on the glue covered containers. Add more glue where needed.
7. When the containers are completely covered add another coat of glue.
8. Let dry.
9. Glue jewels or other items on your shaker to decorate.
10. After it is dry, have a great time shaking and dancing with your shaker!
