Maracas are a great toy anytime. When you make them as a Cinco de Mayo party craft, you can talk about how they are used in Mexican culture. When the maracas are completed, let kids put on a performance or use them during a Mexican hat dance activity.

Directions

Supplies
- 2 Styrofoam bowls
- O-shaped cereal
- Popsicle sticks or wooden dowels
- Hot glue gun
- Acrylic craft paint
- Stickers, sequins and other craft embellishments
Fill one bowl about halfway with o-shaped cereal.
Use hot glue to attach the top of a popsicle stick or dowel to the edge of the bowl.
Glue the second bowl on top of the first.
Use paint and craft supplies to decorate the bowls.
Let the paint dry before shaking the maracas.
