Foam Rhythm Stick Notation

Rhythm sticks made out of foam.
 I used the sticky-back foam (leaving the 'sticky' on, which makes them a bit firmer),
I cut out eighth-notes, quarter notes and quarter rests (stems only)

I have used them for my 2nd graders - passing out a bunch and letting them compose a rhythm and then clapping (or use percussion instruments) the rhythm for the class. 

I reused a pizza box to store these foam rhythms.
