Kids' Maker Hour - African Rainsticks In-Person
Join us at IU Southeast branch of The Floyd County Library for Kids' Maker Hour! This month we will be learning a little about African culture and then we will make our own rainsticks. Who knows what the summer may bring, so we need to be prepared to "make it rain."
What is the purpose of a rainstick?
In many cultures, summoning rain often included the use of musical instruments. One well-known example is a rainstick, an instrument that mimics the sound of rain. They are traditionally made from dead cactus tubes with cactus spines hammered to the inside and filled with tiny pebbles.
