Materials: Plastic lids* (of the same size) from laundry soap bottles,
aerosol spray cans… * clear ones are nice to show what is inside the shaker ¾ to 1’ wide electrical tape Beans, rice, colorful beads… (consider items that would
not be a choking hazard if the shaker should break open)Instructions: Fill one of the lids with your item of choice, place the
second lid on top (another set of hands helps at this point) Attach the two lids with the electric tape and you are
done!
