Rainmaker Craft

A Native American medicine man might shake something similar to this when
calling for rain! Older children can use this craft as an opportunity to look at
Native American design - while younger children will enjoy making a fun
musical instrument!
You will need:
A large snack tube (with a lid)
Kitchen foil
Dried rice or lentils
Some of our grid paper
Glue
Instructions:
Take a piece of foil about 3 times as long as the tube. Roll up to form a
long wire-like strip. Glue one end to the bottom of the tube. Twist into a
spiral. Glue the other end to the tube lid. Tip in some rice and glue the lid in
place.
To decorate the tube, print out some of our grid
paper and colour in your own ‘Native American’ design. Trim the edges and
glue the paper around the tube.
