Homemade Rainstick

July 14, 2021 by Jan D'Atri

Step 1: Choose some things that will make noise inside the rainstick like peas, popcorn, barley, dried beans, etc.
Step 2: Find a packing tube that’s about 2 inches X 24 Inches. I found mine at Staples. And Pick up a bunch of nails that will fit the diameter of the tube!
Hammer a bunch of nails into the packing tube. The more nails, the more noise! Then put the cap back on each end of the rainstick.
Step 3: Remove the cap from one end of the tube and fill it with your beans and peas. When you slowly move the tube up and down, you’ll hear rain!!
Step 4: Decorate the outside of the tube with decorative paper. I found some great paper and borders at Lakeshore Learning Store in Phoenix!
Step 5: For a finishing touch, wrap the ends of your rainstick with thick pipe cleaners and feathers!

My life? It’s been a gift with a big ol’ bow wrapped around it.
Two parallel 40-year careers in media and in food that still excite me to this day. 24 farm animals that remind me that there are always needs much greater than mine. A tiny bit of free time here and there to go fly-fishing. And a kitchen that has become the joyful and busy heart of my home and my world.
