This is pretty standard fare. I drew faces on one side of a paper plate and on a separate paper plate I wrote the kids' names. The I let the kids color on the plates and make the project their own.
The I placed the plates open side to open side and punched holes about an inch apart the whole way around. Next I grabbed some yarn and put tape around the end to make it easier to string through the holes. Once I was almost all the way closed up I put in a baggie filled with beads. You can do this with just dried beans and no baggie, but I didn't have any so I improvised and my obsessive choke hazard awareness prompted me to put the beads in a baggie. Then you finish sewing around the end of the paper plates and tie it off. Next thing you know you have a lovely noise maker that your kids love because they helped make them. :)
