    Procedure<\/strong>: Cut the balloon so that obtained from<\/span>\u00a0as large as possible and stretch it over the top of the pot.
    Secure the balloon with elastic (household food elastic) to keep it taut. Once the elastic band is in place, it is further tensioned. You can also stuff some rice or beans in it for extra fun.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    2. Rattles made from waste plastic bottles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    <\/span><\/p>

    We need<\/strong>: one or more empty plastic bottles teh<\/span>, rice, beans or dried corn, adhesive tape, stickers and coloured papers as desired<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Pan flute made of paper straws\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    <\/span><\/p>

    We need<\/strong>: coloured or patterned paper straws, coloured string, pens, decorative tape, scissors, glue, ruler, pencil <\/span><\/p>


    <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

    Procedure<\/strong>: Take about 15 straws. Using a ruler, cut the first straw to a length of 10 cm.\nAdd 0,5 cm to each straw thereafter. So: the second straw will be 10,5 cm long, the third 11 cm, the fourth 11,5 cm and so on until the fifteenth straw is 17 cm long.\nArrange the straws in height from shortest to longest and glue them together.\nWhile the glue is drying, cut a length of coloured string about 50 cm long.\nStick one end of the string between the first and second straw.\nGlue the other end of the string between the penultimate and the last straw.\nAdd the feathers to the string and let everything dry.\nFor a nicer look, wrap the top of the pan flute with masking tape.

    4. Paper plate cymbals <\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    <\/span><\/p>

    We need<\/strong>: two paper plates, tempera or acrylic paints, coloured ribbons, brush, coins, pencil, glue gun<\/span><\/font><\/p>


    <\/strong><\/span><\/font><\/p>

    Procedure<\/strong>: Take two paper plates of the same size and make a hole in the middle of each plate with the tip of a pencil.\nMake sure that the distance between the holes (when holding the two plates together) is at least 7-10 cm, or as wide as a child's hand, so that the cymbals are comfortable to hold.\nPaint the two plates completely with the colour of your choice. Then take two strips of coloured tape about 25 cm long and thread them through the holes.\nTie a strong knot on the other side of the strips so that the child can hold the cymbals with his\/her fingers. If necessary, adjust the length of the strips according to the size of your hands.\nTurn the plates so that they are facing upwards and attach small coins around the edge of each plate with hot glue.\nAllow the glue to dry well - then let your child bang the cymbals together and listen to them jingle! ATTENTION<\/strong>: thanks to<\/strong> Coins<\/strong> not<\/strong> appropriate<\/strong> for<\/strong> younger<\/strong> children<\/strong>!<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
