Tape

Ribbons cut about 18-24 inches long(optional)

Instructions: 

Have your child decorate the bottom of two paper plates with crayons, markers, jewels, glitter or stamps

An adult needs to help with this step: Staple the edges of the two paper plates, insides facing together. If        you would like to add ribbon streamers, staple those in at same time by laying the ends between the plates before stapling.  Leave a small opening for the beans.

Add about a handful of dried beans or rice and then staple the opening closed.

Put tape over the pointy side of the staples to be sure no one gets hurt.

Turn on some music and let the kids have fun!
