Join the Rainbow Jam – a band with instruments we make ourselves that shows it supports the NHS and Carers by decorating its instruments with rainbow patterns…
FIRST:
COLLECT ALL SORTS OF PACKAGING, CRACKERS, RICE, CEREAL, TEA, BISCUITS, .ETC NOT TOO THICK CARD.
WITH ALL THE FAMILY, FIND THE WAY TO OPEN UP THE PACKAGE, CAREFULLY. OPEN OUT THE BOXES SO THAT THEY ARE FLAT.
NOW, GLUE THEM TOGETHER… BUT WITH THE INSIDE POINTING OUT, TO MAKE YOUR SHAKERS (SOME YOU CAN KEEP FLAT, PUT THEM ASIDE FOR THE MOMENT).
PUT THE LOOSE BITS IN BEFORE YOU SEAL YOUR SHAKERS. YOU CAN USE – RICE, LENTILS OR CHICK PEAS, PASTA OLD PISTACHIO SHELLS, BOTTLE TOPS OR SMALL STONES. TRY DIFFERENT LOOSE BITS IN DIFFERENT SHAKERS…RICE WILL BE QUIETER THAN…? WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE?
ONCE YOU HAVE THEM INSIDE, SEAL THEM IN.
NOW IT’S TIME TO PAINT YOUR RAINBOWS!
YOU CAN PAINT YOUR BOXES ANY WAY YOU WANT, AS LONG AS THEY HAVE RED AND ORANGE AND YELLOW AND GREEN AND BLUE AND PURPLE (THERE’S A SONG TO GO WITH THIS.)
REMEMBER THE FLAT BOX THEY CAN BE PAINTED BEFORE YOU GLUE IT TOGETHER, IT MIGHT BE EASIER.
OTHER IDEAS ARE USING JUICE CARTONS, TWO CUT IN HALF FIT THE TWO BOTTOM HALVES TOGETHER AND COVER WITH RAINBOW PAPER, AND USE THE BIT WITH THE NOZZLE TO MAKE A RAINBOW TRUMPET. THE SAME CAN BE DONE WITH THE PLASTIC BOTTLES.
AND NOW THE FAMILY JAM PACKAGING RAINBOW BAND…. SUPPORT THE NHS!
