make your own maracas with boroondara libraries
/
Shake, shake, shake! We love a good craft activity at home! Even better when you end up with something practical that the little ones will love to use!
There are some fun kids craft tutorials popping up each week on Boroondara Libraries social media.
This week we were inspired to make some maraca shakers with dry rice, pasta and beans inside; each ingredient creating different tones of sound. It was a good little science lesson experimenting with the different sounds that each ingredient would make!
This is a good way to reuse those plastic Easter egg hunt eggs you might have laying around.
The best part is that now we have some percussion instruments to use while streaming story times from all our favourite local bookstores and libraries! Yay!
