Today Ivette and I were with the kids. We tried and did make
maracas out of toilet paper rolls. Sealing the ends was difficult though. I
thought perhaps we could use plastic wrap and rubber bands but thought against
it. I also thought the glue would hold construction paper to the tubes, but
glue sticks are not very strong. Finally, we glued construction paper over the
ends of the tubes and but a rubber band around it to hold it until the glue
stuck better. That worked.
Ivette and I looked up interactional songs while we were
there but the kids were not terribly interested. With a two under 1, we also
found out that we need some toys geared towards the younger ones. Craft parts
are small, and almost everything wants to go in the mouth. Even things that are
not too small, like the balls we roll on the floor, well we roll them on the
floor and we don’t clean them. We tried a story time, but the small ones would
rather flip the pages or chew- cluing us in that we need more age appropriate
books as well.
