Shake it Up – An Entertaining Cinco de Mayo Activity for the Kids
We are hosting a Cinco de Mayo party and thought these would be a perfect project for the kids who are coming. We plan to put a few finished maracas out, along with the materials and then let our little guests make their own.
Materials:
- Plastic eggs
- Plastic spoons
- Washi tape
- Unpopped popcorn kernels
Directions:
- Fill the eggs with a tablespoon of popcorn kernels.
- Place the egg between two plastic spoons.
- Wrap wash tape around the egg at the seam. This will help seal the egg as well as attach it to the spoons.
- Wrap another piece around the bottom of the two spoons to form a handle.
You can use duct or masking tape. We chose the more colorful wash tape, which can be purchased at Target and Ben Franklin.
