Daily Idea #271: Noise Makers

Normally I am not a proponent of lots of noise, so things that create more noise are usually banned in my house. With that said, this Friday is Purim— the Jewish holiday where we are supposed to make noise when we hear the name “Haman” (and the name of his sons). So, for today’s daily idea, we are making noise makers or gragars with items found in the house.

ITEMS NEEDED:

empty water bottle

beads/ dried pasta/ rice

any decorations you’d like to add

This is a super simple noise maker— take your empty water bottle and fill it about 1/3 of the way full with the item of choice— pasta, beads, rice, beans, etc... Seal the bottle and decorate as you see fit. You can color it, glue ribbons to it, whatever you’d like.
