Homemade (classmade) maracas

Thank you Mrs. Kitty...

A co-worker and fellow teacher made these wonderful maracas. They were such a hit with the children. She took pennies and placed them into an easter egg and then tapped  the egg between two plastic spoons. They didn't hold up through a lot of toddler action but as they lasted they provided so much fun. Anything from dried beans to rice can be put in the eggs.
