Getting ready for school: Making sound shakers

For our family night activity, we made some great sound shakers together for Addie's sensorial room. Here are some photos where we are making the materials. This is Addie putting chickpeas in a bottle. We also have salt, lentils and couscous, and I will add stones and paperclips when I get some. We just bought a value pack of diet lemonade bottles from Asda, emptied, rinsed and dried them and filled them up. Actually for the salt, lentils and couscous we used a funnel - the first introduction to it!

And then it is time to play!

She really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to making the visual ones next!
