They each started with an empty clear bottle. I offered them a selection of bright or rattly items with which to fill the bottles: bright feathers, multiple colors of legumes, macaroni noodles, and glitter.
I tried to pick items which, if the bottles were opened, would not be outrageous choking hazards (this ruled out the jingle bells sadly . . . ).
Baby Brother was awake while we were making these, so the kids made a big deal about keeping him from peeking and quickly wrapped the rattles and put them under the tree.
Baby Brother loves these rattles! We've been keeping one on the changing table and it's perfect to occupy him during diaper changes (which keeps him from flipping over and yanking the cover of the changing pad as he loves to do).
This project was inspired by a post at Chasing Cheerios.
