Create a pinkatastic rainstick with items you already have in your home!

1. Cover one end of the tube with tape, then make a long, crumpled piece of tinfoil and drop it inside.

2. Pour the filling into the tube, then tape over the open end. Tilt the tube back and forth to hear the sound it makes. Try tilting it slowly, or quickly!

3. Make it pinkatastic! Decorate your rainstick using markers, ribbons, stickers, or anything fun you can find around your house.

Supplies:

- Cardboard tube - Tape - Aluminum foil - Fillings: Dry rice, beans, beads, or pebbles

4. Experiment with sounds! Try using longer or shorter tubes, add more, less, or different filling, or twist the tin foil in to fun shapes. Listen to the different sounds it can make.
