"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

Rainstick Discovery Bottle

Make your own rainsticks in a bottle! This is a fun and safe alternative for the youngest child.

Materials: water bottle; toothpicks; colored rice; glue & glue gun

Directions:
1. Dry the empty water bottle
2. Add toothpicks (1.5 boxes if small box, 1 box if it is the bigger box)
3. Add colored rice (rice, food coloring and rubbing alcohol) until you get the sound of rain falling as they float through the toothpick
4. Glue lid on with glue gun (do not use glue gun around children)

This is an easy activity the children can make. Then put them in your discovery area and music area.
