Making Maracas Out of Rice, Beans, & Paper Bags
Hello I'm Annie Brunson on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are learning about making musical instruments using everyday household items. Today we are going to make some maracas. What you will need are some brown sandwich bags, some rubber bands, some rice, and some beans. Also it might be nice to have some color tape to decorate your maracas. The first thing you are going too do if yo want to is you could decorate your maracas. You could take some markers and you could put all kinds of different patterns on it. Don't make any marks on the lower end because that is going to be your handle. So keep your drawings to the upper level of your brown bag. Once you have decorated your bag you are going too fill it. The first bag that I'm going to fill I'm going to fill with rice. So open your bag up and put some rice in. then you are going too make a handle by scrunching up. Now make sure that no rice comes out I'm going to put a rubber band around the bottom or the about the middle of the bag. I put that on as tightly as possible. Then I'm going to twist the rest of the bag. I'm now going to put some color tape around. This is one maraca. Now I'm going to make one with a slightly different sound this time I'm going to put some red beans. Now we have two maracas.
