Decorate the tubes with acrylic paint... I would concentrate on an artist like Piet Mondrian. http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/mondrian/ This would add some Art History to a lesson!!!! I love Art History!
 * **Art, Science and Music all in one lesson!!!!** ||

 * **__Activity__:** || Making Maracas ||
 * **__Subject__:** || Music and Art ||
 * **__Materials__:** |||| # Cardboard tubes
 * 1) Paint
 * 2) Beans or Mardi Gras beads
 * 3) Stapler
 * 4) Yarn or colored tissue ||
 * **__Instructions__:** |||| # Have children paint tubes and let dry over night.
 * 1) Staple one end of the tube.
 * 2) If using Mardi Gras beads, cut beads into little pieces.
 * 3) Place a small handful of beads or beans (about ten beads or beans) into tube. **Do not fill tube. Fewer beads sound better.**
 * 4) Staple the open end of the tube perpendicular to the stapled end. This will allow more room inside the tube for the beads to move around.
 * 5) Staple yarn or colored tissue to the stapled ends as fringe for decoration.
 * 6) Play music, shake maracas and enjoy ||
 * You can really have a lot of fun with the decorating on these maracas... that is where the art comes into the lesson! ||  ||
