Paper Plate Instrument

Materials: 2 paper plates stapler, tape or glue uncooked rice (uncooked popcorn kernels, small twigs, small rocks, or shells will work too!) markers, crayons or colored pencils
Step 1: Begin with two paper plates. Turn them over and create designs/pictures by drawing with markers, crayons or colored pencils.
Step 2: Turn one of the plates over and place a handful of uncooked rice (or one of the other materials listed above).
Step 3: Place the empty plate on top of the filled plate. Be careful to line up the edges. Use a stapler around the edges to keep the plates together. (Tape or glue may be used as well. Remember if you decide to use glue it you will have to be patient and let it dry overnight.)
Step 4: After the paper plates have been put together, shake and play your Paper Plate Instrument!! You've created art with rhythm!! Enjoy!
