I used the idea I found in the Idea Bank to make rainsticks, but the plastic rings from soda cans really ended up clumping in one end. I broke up pieces of styrofoam (from my new window air conditioner) and filled the tubes. This worked great. We played "Kookaburra" from Silly Songs & Crazy Critters and used our rainsticks and Boomwhackers®. Big hit!
