Make Your Own Maracas
Celebrate Easter, Cinco de Mayo or any festive holiday with these fun, easy-to-make maracas.
Babies and young children with visual impairments respond to the sound they make and their bright colors. All you need are some plastic Easter eggs, rice or beans to fill them with, plastic spoons and colored tape.

  • Fill the eggs with the rice or beans.
  • Tape one plastic spoon to each side of the egg.
  • Add more tape around the egg and down the spoon handles until they’re covered.

Washi tape has great designs and is available at craft stores and some office supply stores.
