Rhythm Dice

Who doesn't love to throw a dice? 
I have made a few of these over the years.  I have either found a square box or just cut 6 equal squares from corrugated cardboard and put them together.  For stuffing, I have used newspaper, poly-fil or plastic shopping bags.  I then wrap the box like a gift and use clear mailing tape to seal it.  It is important to use permanent marker to draw the music notes.  Then the color doesn't run.  The dice will get damaged on the corners as it is thrown around the room.  This is great for general music classes or private piano students.   And it's pretty simple to make.
