These Twiggy Christmas Shakers are super easy make and will bring lots of fun and play into your house or classroom this Christmas. In the past we have made something very similar which we have written about here: Christmas Dance Streamers The Twiggy Christmas Shakers are great for playing games such as hide and seek and also for singing and dancing to favourite Christmas songs. They will entertain the kids for hours!
What you will need?
You will need sticks, bells, elastic bands, scissors, string and green, white and red crepe paper streamers.
- Thread the string through two Christmas bells.
- Tie the string into a tight knot at the top of the stick.
- Position the 3 different coloured crepe paper streams next to the bells and attached by wrapping the elastic band around the string and crepe paper.
- Snip off any excess string.
