How to make a Maraca
Let's have some fun with rhythm at home and make our own Maracas.
Today, I suggest a fun and easy project for you to do with your little ones.
Let's learn how to make a MARACA!
A few pebbles are inserted into an emptied and washed bottle, jar or any container of your preference; insert a few pebbles, dried cereal, beans or rice; close the container and shake away so you hear the sounds you're creating. The sky is the limit when it comes to decorating your maraca! I put stickers on mine and wrote my name on it! Can't wait to see what you are going to come up with đđ đĄ
Did you know the maraca is originally from Brazil? đ§đ· They were an oracle of the Tupinamba Indians and also of other Indian tribes such as Garifuna and Guarani. Last year I went to Brazil to play in a concert and was mesmerised with their musical talent. It's everywhere and where you least expect it: in the streets, at the beach, at the church or at the supermarket. They are an amazing nation with beautiful music to offer, truly blessed đ¶ Hav a wonderful time making music with your Maracas.đ
Take care, Ana đđč
