If you’re like me…
then you probably still have those plastic Easter Eggs all over your home.
I like to keep them for next year but
with Cinco de Mayo around the corner…
I turned a couple of eggs into Maracas for Caiden to play with!
He loves them and I’m surprised we’ve had these for more than a week already.
Here’s how to make your own Toddler-Tested (and survived) Maracas
What you’ll Need:
2 Plastic Eggs, Jumbo Paper Straws (got them at Target), Rice or Beans, Crepe Paper Streamer
Tools:
Tape, Hot Glue, Mod Podge, Brush, Scissors
Directions:
Fill your Eggs with rice (or beans)…I filled them up with about a teaspoon
Tape the center of the Egg to seal
Cut the straw in half (so you have one for each egg)
Hot Glue the straw to the center bottom of your egg, for added security use tape as well (once the glue dries)
Brush Mod Podge all over your Egg and add strips of Crepe paper to cover
Add glue to smooth out the paper and if it tears, just add another layer of crepe paper
Once it’s dry, add another layer of glue.
Have fun!
