Noisemakers are a key component of every ‘around the house’ marching band. Experiment by filling them with different items to affect the sound they make. Some suggestions – dry pasta, loose change, salt and dry beans. Make sure to spend time decorating each one as well. You’ll want everyone to know which one is yours when you're making those sweet, sweet, pasta sounds.

Adventure you say? Treasure be near? Grab your cup binoculars and head out on the trail. Hide a few clues around the house so your little explorers can follow the path to the certain riches and wonder that await. Feeling less ambitious? Use them to have a fun bird watching session out your back window and talk about which birds like to visit your yard.
