Fiesta Fun Lock-in
This theme is in the works right now. We are hoping to
include the following: piñata, tacos, guacamole, sombreros, musical
instruments (castanets, tambourine and maracas) ...
We have delegated our tasks and the craft chair has come up with three,
wonderful ideas for creating the instruments:
-
Tambourines from pie tins and bottle caps. She called several bakers to
find donated tins and taverns have all the bottle caps we can use.
-
Castanets made from conchos with finger loops of elastic. Not quite the
right sound, though. Wooden nickels (2" diameter circular slice of wood,
1/2cm thick) might be more realistic, but someone would have to drill two
holes for the elastic.
-
Maracas are more time consuming to make, if paper mached. We are looking
for a source for large prescription bottles or other small containers.
Piñatas will be purchased a head of time by each troop or unit.
(2-3 troops)
