Who this list is for
A paper tube rain stick is a simple sound-maker craft for seven-year-olds using a cardboard mailing tube. An adult should securely seal both ends before the finished rain stick is used.
How to use this list
Give each child a cardboard mailing tube with lids and choose uncooked rice or dry beans for the filling. Use paper plates to hold small amounts of filling and funnels to guide it into the tube. Aluminum foil can go inside before filling, while colored construction paper, washable markers, and stickers decorate the outside. Use masking tape during assembly and clear packing tape for the adult-secured ends.
Common mistakes
Do not fill the tube before checking that a lid fits properly. Avoid leaving either end secured only with light decoration tape. Rice and dry beans should stay on the paper plates until the funnel is ready to limit spills. This project needs adult attention for the final seal, especially before children shake the finished tube.
