Paper Plate Noise Maker

Shake things up at celebrations with a fun, easy paper plate noisemaker you can personalize for the occasion! Whether it’s a family gathering (complete with all-generation dance party) or the New Year’s countdown, these inexpensive party favors are great for keeping little ones busy before and at the big event.

To make this paper plate craft, you will need:

Paper plate
Paint, markers or crayons
Curled ribbon
Dried beans, pasta or pony beads
Tape
Glue or stapler

Have children paint or color the back side of the paper plate.

Tape curled ribbon to plate so that when folded in half, the ribbon will stick out. Add a handful of beans to the plate and fold in half. Secure the plate closed with glue or a stapler. A hot glue gun can be used for this step but should be handled by a grown up.
