10. DIY Noisemakers
When it’s time to run out into the street in your pyjamas and make lots of noise, what are you going to use? We love the idea of having the kids make their own paper plate noisemakers during the day, which they can decorate however they like!
Simply take a paper plate, face up, and pour rice, beads or pasta in it (but not too full). Put a lollipop or craft stick at the bottom, then glue the other paper plate on top.
Once it’s all dry they can decorate the plates however they like, with gems, stickers, pens and whatever else takes their fancy. A cute craft that might become a treasured keepsake!
