Fill a clear water bottle with beads, then tightly glue and tape it shut. Encourage the children to shake the bottle and listen to the sounds. Bottles can also be filled with sand or colored water, pom-poms, shells, large buttons or colorful straws cut into short lengths. Be sure to check bottles regularly for signs of wear, and monitor their use carefully.
