Few weeks ago Ania had to prepare an instrument for her music class (Mama Mia 親子館). The instrument was supposed to imitate the sound of rain, wind or thunder. I figured that it would be nice to make an instument first "invented" by Aztecs - the rainstick (or something that would resemble it).
The big brother, Jaś, was a great help.

When the tube has been decorated, remember to seel one end well.
Now your rain stick is ready to be filled - pour some small grains in and after closing the other end, move your rainstick slowly in the upright position - up and down - and listen to the rain.

What is needed to make a rainstick:
- a tube (we used one for storing pictures)
- nails
- beans/peas or other small grains
- colored tape + stickers to decorate
- hammer

| I made small dots on the tube so the nails would be placed at equal distances. |

| Placing the nails in was a task for Jas. |

| This is how the tube looks like after the nails are nailed through. |
