New Year’s Noise Makers

Here’s a great craft for the new year’s celebration.  Give the kids something fun to do on that dreaded first day after winter break!

Noise Maker Materials

• Paper Plates
• Dried Beans
• Tape or Stapler
• Glue Stick
• Colored Tissue Paper

Noise Maker Directions

Cut some of your color tissue paper into strips. Tape one end of the strips inside the edge of one paper plate. Next tape/staple another paper plate on top leaving enough room to pour in some dried beans. Once this is done tape/staple the plates shut. You will have plates w/ tissue paper strips hanging out. This is your noise maker.

Have children rip pieces of tissue up into pieces and use the glue stick to decorate the paper plate.  If you are short on time, kids can also decorate with markers or crayons.
