Swishy Sticks for Preschoolers

Kids love shaking these to the music.   Many ideas, but one could be recognizing HIGH-LOW music...shake above your head for high sounds, shake by your feet for low sounds.
I can't take credit for this craft.  And I don't remember what book it comes from, it has been years since I first made these.  It's so simple.
Cut strips of plastic table cloths (about 7-8 inches long and 2 inches wide), maybe 8 per swishy stick, then tape them around a golf tube that has been cut about 6 -7 inches long.
