I’m always looking for fun activities to do with my toddler that are fun to create, and they serve a purpose once we’re done. I decided it would be fun to make our own musical insturments — maracas to be exact.
Fill your plastic eggs with the dry ingredients. This is a great fine motor activity for little hands!
Put two spoons together, with the heads of the spoons facing. Grab your washi tape and begin wrapping it tightly around the handles of the spoons. Alternate with different washi tape patterns to make your maraca handles more colorful.
Open the heads of the spoons slightly and set an egg inside the heads of the spoon.
Wrap your egg with washi tape, beginning by going over the seam of the egg. Going around with the tape 2-3 times around the seam will make it more secure.
Wrap the head of the maraca with more washi tape.
Happy music making!
