Instructions   

1. Trace eight castanet shapes, 3 inches long, from tissue paper, using the image here as your guide.
2. With the help of a grown-up, children can cut the shapes out of the tissue paper. This will make the great “crinkle” sound of the castanets!
3. Next have a grown-up trace and cut four castanet shapes from the center of paper plate.
4. Glue one tissue shape to each side of the paper plate castanet cut-out.
5. You should now have four “castanets”. Glue one to each side of the clothespins.
6. Taa Daa! Your very own castanets!
