It's a good idea... until she played with it for hours and hours and hours. It kept her happy and occupied I guess, but it sure was noisy! I tried this out with my niece fairly recently.

The super glue will keep your curious toddler from unscrewing the lid and making a mess. A plastic funnel works great to get the macaroni in with little mess and allows the little one to do the job. Or you can make a paper funnel by rolling a piece of paper into a cone. Child can paint the bottle or you make a new paper wrapper and let them color on the new wrapper with crayons or markers. Make some from the butter tubs and some from bottles, see how they sound different.
