Love is in the air at our house and the countdown to Valentine’s Day is on! I am always on the hunt for simple crafts to do with the kids. I love craft bloggers, I really do. But I need straightforward and easy to make things with my children that won’t break the bank. And, if I can find all of the supplies in my house, even better! Today, I’m pleased to present this easy toddler music maker! We used MIKE AND IKE® Passion Mix Candy from PEEPS & COMPANY® as our noise maker. They worked just perfectly!
Supplies needed to make this easy toddler music maker:
- Plastic water/soda bottle, rinsed out and dried
- Washi tape
- MIKE AND IKE® Passion Mix Candy
Method:
This is super simple to do. Place the tape around the bottle as “trim” and invite your child to play.
As soon as Lola sat down, she knew exactly what to do. She got busy dropping the MIKE AND IKE® Passion Mix Candy into the bottle. She didn’t realize it, but she’s working hard on her pincher grasp and hand eye coordination while she worked. Sharpening these skills will serve her well when she’s older, she needs both of them to write!
Of course, PEEPS & COMPANY® has tons of other awesome Valentine’s offerings.
Here’s just a small selection:
- PEEPS® Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Crème Flavored Chicks
- PEEPS® Marshmallow Hearts
- PEEPS® Strawberry Crème Flavored Marshmallow Hearts
- PEEPS® Cherries Drizzled and Dipped in Chocolate
- PEEPS® Vanilla Crème Flavored Marshmallow Hearts
- PEEPS® Chocolate Covered Raspberry Flavored Heart
- MIKE AND IKE® Passion Mix Candy
- HOT TAMALES® Fierce Cinnamon Candy
- HOT TAMALES® Valentine’s Lollipops
