To do this, your child can use craft glue or an adult\u00a0can use a hot glue gun. Do not get glue on the center of the end cap, but only on the side flaps.

To do so you will need a large postal tube (available at the post office or office supply stores) that comes with end caps, a box of nails just slightly shorter than the diameter of your postal tube, a hammer, and rain material. Use the hammer to pound the nails into the\u00a0tube, staggering alignement. Be sure to hammer the nails so that they go straight across the interior of the tube. The more nails you add, the better the sound will be. With one end cap on (you may want to glue it in place), add 1-2 cups of rain material (like rice). Glue on the second end cap. Decorate the outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of our updated Puddles and Ponds summer unit, we made a mini rain stick using recycled materials.
