RAIN STICKS

Young kids love noise makers. These rain sticks are similar to the rain sticks used by the indians years ago. Color, paint, and decorate paper towel rolls. Cover one end of a paper towel roll with waxed paper or aluminum foil and close it off with a rubber band or tape. Pour a handful or two of dried beans (split peas work well) in the open end, close open end the same as the other. Poke toothpicks through the rolls at different intervals to add a "rain shaker" sound.
