Kinder Egg Maracas

Don't throw away your kinder eggs - Turn them into instruments

Design:

• The maracas consist of two main components: a 3D printed handle and a Kinder Egg container.
• The handle is designed with a comfortable grip, ensuring ease of use.
• The Kinder Egg container serves as the resonating chamber for the maracas.

Assembly:

3D Printed Handle:

• The handle is printed using durable and lightweight material (such as PLA or ABS).
• The top end of the handle has a snug fit for the Kinder Egg container.

Kinder Egg Container:

• The Kinder Egg container is cleaned thoroughly to remove any chocolate residue.
• It is then pressed onto the handle’s top end, creating a secure fit.
• If the fit is not tight enough, you can apply a small amount of super glue around the rim of the container before pressing it onto the handle.

Sound Creation:

• Fill the Kinder Egg container with a small amount of unboiled rice (about a teaspoon).
• Close the container tightly.
• When shaken, the rice inside the container creates a pleasant rattling sound, similar to traditional maracas.

Usage:

• Hold the handle firmly and shake the maracas to produce rhythmic sounds.
• Experiment with different shaking techniques to vary the intensity and tone of the sound.

Remember to have fun with your homemade Kinder Egg maracas! 🎶🥚🎵
