Kid parties usually involve lots of noise, so why not keep the kids busy (and quiet) while they prepare their own noisemaker shakers.
Use plain white paper plates and beans, rice, macaroni, or buttons, etc. Have the kids fold a paper plate and staple the edges halfway up. Then let them put a few scoops of beans inside and finish the stapling (you should tape the staples to avoid any poking ends).
Let the kids decorate them with markers, crayons, stickers, glitter, etc. (If the kids are too young to be fooling around with staplers, make these beforehand and just let them decorate them).
To make bigger shakers, don't fold the plate in half, just turn a second plate upside down and staple it to the first around the edges.
Empty film cases with rice also make good noisemakers.
