Another favorite. It’s like a rattle, but with visual stimulation, and you don’t have to worry about it getting lost at the grocery store as you can easily make more. It’s nice to just take with you everywhere you go or keep it out at home.
Never know when it’ll come in handy as a distraction. Harvey has been using this shaker for weeks now. He even took it into the bath the other day. I love it.
Materials:
- Spice bottle or similar
- Noise making fillers, Straws, jingle bells, beads
- Glue
- Optional washi tape for decoration
Clean up your bottle. Make sure your bottle is dry and then add your noise making fillers. Use your glue / hot glue to secure the lid of the bottle to avoid unintentional opening.
Use the optional washi tape to add a decorative touch. Shake shake shake!
