Did your grandmother ever give you a pot and a wooden spoon so you could “ring” in the New Year? I remember standing on my grandma’s porch at midnight doing just that.
I don’t know if we were celebrating the coming year or scaring off evil spirits with all that racket! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Say “see ya later 2022!” with a simple popsicle stick noisemaker. You can make your own by gluing jingle bells and sparkly tinsel to a large craft stick.
Ready to make some noise?
Craft a Jingle Bell Noise Maker
This noise maker uses jingle bells to help your kid literally “ring in” the new year. It’s a lot easier on the ears than giving your kid a pot to bang on!
Feel free to add more jingle bells to make more noise.
This is a great project for using up leftover Christmas craft supplies from making ornaments. There’s no wrong way to make this!
Hot glue will work best for securing your jingle bells to the popsicle stick — remember, always use the right glue for the job!
Parents please note that this craft uses small parts that could pop off if played with vigorously. Keep tiny tots away from loose jingle bells, they are a choking hazards.
