momstown KW Shakes and Rattles at Baby Basics Program for Kitchener-Waterloo Moms

Baby Basics is a momstown weekly program that is designed to provide a fun environment 
for new moms and their babies to interact and play. Each week we alternate 
between a guest speaker and a craft and this week our 
momstown KW moms all made our own musical baby shaker!
After we all sang a song and read a cute story the crafter in every mom came out with 
the craft supplies. It's amazing how you can turn something as simple and useless 
as an empty toilet paper roll into something so fun and amazing for any baby!


Here's what you'll need to create your own musical shaker:

-empty toilet paper roll
-clear packing tape
-markers/crayons
-dry beans


Color your toilet paper roll into a fun scene or shapes in bright colors! Tape the bottom and add your beans into the toilet paper roll until it's about 1/3 full. 
Tape the top, so the beans don't shake out!
Tape up the sides so when the shaker inevitable ends up in your babies mouth it's safe 
and ba boom...musical shaker your baby will spend hours playing with!
Have fun and we'll see you next week!
