The boys and I made the rain sticks today. I think I threw away the paper towel tubes - I couldn't find them this morning. However, I did have two empty Lay's Stacks Chips plastic cans. (We usually make "pop-offs" (our name) using these tubes.) They were usable for today's project. These are easy for little ones to make - just the tubes, kitchen foil, rice, stickers and tape to keep the top on really, really tight. We didn't have enough stickers for these bigger tubes so we selected clip art from one of my computer programs , printed them on a sheet of sticky-back paper, and put the whole sheet around the tube. Picture below. 
We decided to do the egg carton project another time and I surely was glad - I threw away the egg cartons, too.
It's time for me to quit writing and start reading. I want to know what my blog friends have been up to today.

Pop-offs? Would that mean you squeeze the tube and the lid pops off? When I was in line at Macy's, I was by the Martha Stewart garlic peel removers that came in a thin plastic tube. I inadvertently squeezed the tube and the lid flew off and away. It was so much fun that I did it a few more times. I was bored in line, and it made my wait a little brighter. The man behind me got a kick out of it too.
