15 Homemade Goody Bag Ideas

Mini-Eco offers up this creative idea for making homemade instruments, resulting in one birthday favor that would be equally great for a hands-on party activity.

Featuring a balloon bongo, a rice shaker, and a guiro, Mama Kate says that these DIY instruments were fun and easy to make, and that she gave her son a set of chopsticks for playing the guiro. To make your own, you'll want to have balloons, rubber bands, rice or lentils and some empty tin cans that do not have sharp edges. We have a feeling that these cool musical instruments are sure to have your tots movin' and shakin' to their own beat in no time!
