We had a great time this past First Friday in the Kids Zone!
We spent the evening making, decorating and shaking our very own rain sticks!
Traditionally these sticks were made by the Aztecs out of pieces of fallen dried cactus and pebbles or dried beans.
When you shake the stick it makes the sound of falling rain and it is said that these sticks were used to bring about rainstorms in South America.
We made our sticks out of recycled PVC pipe, two PVC end caps and some pea gravel!
You'll thank us when the rain comes to the Desert Southwest!
