Canada Day Noisemaker
Ruth aka ARCHHOST shares these instructions for making red and white noise makers using paper plates.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 Paper Plates
  • Crayons or Paint
  • Dried Beans
  • Stapler or Glue
Instructions:
Decorate the paper plates using red and white paint or streamers. You can also add streamers, maple leaf stickers, etc.

Put one paper place on the table, with the right side up. Place the other paper plate on top of the first one, right side down. This will make a gap in the middle. Start stapling the edges together. Leave an opening at the top to slide a handful of dried beans in (you can also use rice or unpopped popcorn!). Finish stapling it shut. You are now ready to make some noise!
