Children can decorate the outside of the tube using paint, glitter and sequins to make their rain-maker personal. The children can then add rice to the tube and seal the tube lid to the top using a glue gun. This cut out circle can then be pushed through the slot, inside the tube. Simply cut out a circle the same size as the tube and cut out holes within the circle, then make a cut half way down the tube. Rain-makers are easy to make using rice and pringle tubes.

Sand timers can be used to help the monitors know when to stop playing. The children must continue tidying until the musical instruments stop. When tidy up time arrives the monitors will choose some musical instruments to play while their friends tidy up. Two children will be chosen to be the tidy up monitors. Some settings may have a tidy up song or use sand timers, however instruments can also be effective. Musical instruments are a great way to encourage tidying up.
