Even your youngest child will enjoy making music and dancing to the rhythm that is their very own.

Pour some raw rice and/or dried beans into the plastic container. Close the container and seal it shut securely with a good tape.2. Cover the container with cotton stuffing (like quilt batting)to form a ball. If you don't have cotton stuffing, you could use old socks or soft fabric. 3. Push the rattle ball into the toe of an old, bright-colored sock. Knot it securely to keep the rattle ball from slipping out. If you don't have an old, brightly-colored sock, use a white sock and paint or decorate it with markers. 4.
