Emma made this little shaker as a baby present for our new baby. I don’t expect it will last until then, but she is very proud of it!
She made it by taping together two Dixie cups filled with small pieces of cardboard. It works very well, and makes quite a nice sound!

From last week’s links, I love the paper mache jellyfish in this post from Schooltime Snippets. I also have plans to try out this chewy cookie recipe from B. Inspired, Mama! – who also put together this fantastic round-up of earth day activities! Have a toddler? Check out this adorable “Are You My Mother” storytelling activity from Inspiration Laboratories! Did you know a carrot stump could grow leaves? I didn’t, until I saw this new growth post at Rainy Day Mum. And my kids would LOVE this water play wall from Experimenting Mom.

What a sweetheart. I thought my heart couldn’t get any bigger after the first baby, then I had another one and seeing the love siblings share is gut wrenching, in the best possible way :)

That’s so sweet! I agree with Marie, it’s amazing how seeing the bond between your children just makes you love them even more and in a different way. So excited for you!

Shakers are always a blast to both make and play with and then toss! I love making our own musical instruments…because they can make as many as they want…low cost…and low clutter! :)
