How to Make “Game Day” Shakers

August 28, 2013 by

It’s that time of year again when the kids have gone back to school and started playing sports. My nephew, Timmy, has started his football season.  So we decided to make shakers to take the game to help cheer him on. This is a great project to do with kids.  My son, Tristan, helped me fill up the shakers and my niece, Chloe, helped me decorate them.  We want to make some NOISE!! 🙂

Items needed:
Construction paper
Markers
Scotch tape
Scissors
Empty containers with lids.
Rocks, rice or other fillers

STEP ONE:

Rinse and dry containers.
Cover with construction paper.
Tape in place.
Decorate with team name,  player’s name and number. Try to use the team colors.

STEP TWO:

Put rocks or rice in the containers.
Replace lid.

STEP THREE:

SHAKE! SHAKE!! SHAKE!!!   LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!

GAMEDAYSHAKERS
It’s a great way to show the kids in your life you are rooting for them.
Have Fun & Happy Crafting!!

    Cute idea. After they are made, I will have to hide them until the appropriate times to use them or this will definitely be a noisy house! LOL

    This is a really fun idea, and I can see a lot of different ways of decorating them, too!!! FUN!
