Roberta here! I am getting ready for Reid’s first New Year’s! Babies love anything that makes noise, so to celebrate the day, I made these super-easy noisemakers for my family.
What you need:
- Paper cups
- Card stock
- Dry beans or rice
- White glue
- Colored markers
- Scotch tape
- Pencil
- Scissors
- An adult assistant
What you do:
Place a paper cup upside down on a piece of card stock and trace around the opening with a pencil. Then draw a slightly larger circle around the outside, leaving a gap of approximately ¼” around the edge.
Cut out the larger circle and then cut slits around the edge of the circle, from the outer rim to the inner circle, about ¼” apart to create tabs all the way around the circle. Fold the tabs up.
Place a small handful of beans or rice into the paper cup.
Put a generous bead of glue inside the tabs at the edge of the circle and place on top of the paper cup, then press down the edges of the paper circle onto the outer edge of the top of the cup, pressing securely.
Once glue is completely dry, use markers to make a festive pattern on the cup.
When you’re happy with your design, use scotch tape to secure the circle in place around the top of the cup – to be sure your beans don’t fall out!
Now shake away!
