Rain sticks are well loved by babies and older children. They are also particularly good for people living with dementia. They remind people of the sound of gently falling rain, which is harmonious and relaxing.

Could P V C pipe be used for this project?

Hi James, yes, PVC pipes can be used as long as you make sure it is safe, meaning the open sides are properly taped so that dementia residents cannot open it. Than you.

I love rain sticks! I have many at home that I purchased for my granddaughter when she was born. They have such a soothing sound. We have 3 levels of care and I am going to have my Independent and assisted residents make these for our low functioning residents. Will incorporate into our 1:1's

Would love to find a story with group participation so they could use them in a story or a song

Thank you! I tried to make rainsticks once and they didn't quite sound right, but now that I see how to do the foil I will try again!

Talita avatar

Hopefully this was the missing link Sherrie! Love to hear how it turns out.
