 * __RainSticks__**
 * Materials:** cardboard tubes, burlap, dowel rods (slightly thicker then a pencil and the length of the tube), acrylic paint, tag board, foil, dry beans or rice, glue gun, feathers and twine
 * Step 1:** Students will take their wood dowel rods and wrap them with foil snake. Secure the ends of the foil to the rod with a dot of glue on each end.
 * Step 2:** Trace the ends of the tube on the tag board. Cut out the two circles and glue one to one of the two ends (Just one end!).
 * Step 3:** Place the dowel and foil inside the tube fill with a cup of beans or rice and glue the other circle to the other side of the tube. This will enclose the rod, foil and beans or rice inside the tube.
 * Step 4:** Take a length of burlap that is the length and width of the tube and paint Native American inspired symbols on the outside of the burlap.
