Rattle for the little ones

Kinder egg containers are a great base for a rattle for a newborn. Use natural materials as a filler. Such a toy will be appreciated by the pupils of the nursery group of the kindergarten.

Necessary tools and materials:

• plastic containers;
• coffee beans, dry beans (as a filler);
• wooden skewer (for the handle);
• bright threads made from natural fibers;
• crochet hook.

Step-by-step master class:

1. Place the chosen filling material into a plastic container and close it tightly. To prevent it from opening over time, apply a thin layer of glue to the edge of one half or secure it with thin tape. The volume and sound of the rattle depend on the chosen filling, so you need to choose one that your child will like in advance.
2. Attach the prepared base to a wooden skewer.
3. To make the rattle bright and interesting, tie the base with threads using a hook. If you don’t have knitting skills, you can wrap the capsule with threads, pressing them tightly to the plastic. Fix the ends of the thread with glue.

It is worth remembering that babies love to put everything in their mouth, so before making a rattle, it is advisable to check the yarn for shedding. For the same reason, mohair and wool are not suitable for the toy. Ideally, use viscose, linen or cotton.
