Resources

What You Need

Kitchen Towel Tube
Tin Foil
Paper and Masking Tape
Rice
Feathers, beads & string

Instructions

Decorate the outside of the tube with different dot patterns.

Put paper over one end and secure with tape

Cut off a long piece of foil, crinkle it up in a long thin sausage. Fold in half and twist to create loops for the rice to fall through. Carefully insert this into the tube.

Now add about half a cup of rice. Put your hand over the end and turn upside down and listen to the sound. If you want to increase the sound, add more rice, but it should have a gentle sound like falling rain.

Seal the end of the rain stick with paper and tape as before.

Wrap jute twine or cotton string around the top of the rain stick and securely tie, leaving about 30cm for threading beads onto and tieing feathers for decoration. Tie the end securely to the bottom of the tube.

When complete, slowly turn upside down and listen to the sound of rain!
