Sharing our curriculum with parents/carers…
Make a paper plate shaker
What you need:
- 1 x paper plate
- Coloured markers / crayons
- Tissue paper
- Stapler or sticky tape (children can use staplers safely if you show them how!)
- 1/2 cup of rice
Help your child to:
- Fold the paper plate in half
- Colour the outside of the plate with marker pens / crayons
- Seal up the curved edge of the shaker with a stapler or sticky tape – leave 5cm at one end so you can add the rice
- Pour the rice into the shaker
- Seal up the remainder of the shaker’s edge
- Cut some strips of coloured tissue paper
- Paste them on to the curved edge of the shaker with a glue stick
- Now your shaker is finished!
- Sing some songs or put on some music and…shake it, shake it …you won’t break it…
