Rainmaker

Materials needed:

Tube container (i used a small Pringles can)

Nails

Rice and/or beans

Construction paper

Decorations

Glue

Stapler

Putting together your rainmaker:

Measure out a piece of construction paper to wrap around your tube, and decorate! We used some feathers, glitter and shape cut outs.

(This part is all Lei! I try to stay out of it as much as possible, and just sit on the side saying "oh, how pretty" and "Wow, that is so cool!" However when it comes to the stapling, i handle that part.)

 Carefully hammer nails into the side of your tube...or do like Lei, and use a wooden puzzle peice as your hammer :)

We just put the randomly.

Then add your rice or beans...we added both! I didn't get a picture of this part, but we filled our can a little less than half, and i think that it was too much. You will probably get better results with less!

Wrap your decorated paper around your tube and staple to keep it in place. I found that stapling worked better than gluing since the head of the nails didn't allow the paper to stay flat enough to glue, and stay flat..
