The Wobbly Cup Tower

Steps:

Place one paper baking cup upside down on a flat surface.
Carefully set a craft stick across the center of the cup.
Balance a second baking cup on one end of the stick.
Balance a third baking cup on the other end.
Add another craft stick across the top of these two cups.
Continue adding cups and sticks to build a tall tower.
See how high you can go before it wobbles!

Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is required. Small materials like craft sticks can be a safety concern if placed in the mouth.

The Secret Keyhole Drop

Steps:

Cut a narrow slot in a piece of cardboard using your scissors.
Use your markers to draw a treasure chest or a door around the secret slot.
Tape a craft stick to the edge of a large button to create a key handle.
Ask your child to hold the cardboard upright with their helper hand.
They must twist their wrist to align the button with the slot to push it through.
Try making the slot horizontal or vertical to change the wrist movement.

Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is required when using scissors and small buttons to prevent any choking hazards.

The Rice Pan Bridge Cross

Steps:

Pour Rice into the Aluminium Foil Pan.
Place three Craft Sticks across the pan width to form narrow bridges.
Put a few small Blocks on the table next to the pan.
Give your child the Tongs to pick up one Block.
Challenge them to walk the Block across a Craft Stick bridge.
If the Block falls into the Rice, try again!
Deliver all the Blocks to the other side to win.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child when playing with small blocks or rice. These materials can be a choking hazard. Ensure the pan is on a flat surface to prevent spills.

The Aluminum Foil Pincer Boats

Pinch and fold the edges up to make a tiny boat shape.
Fill a plastic container with water and float your boats.
Use tweezers to pick up one bead at a time.

Try to keep the boat level so it does not sink!

Safety Tip:
Beads and small foil pieces are a choking hazard. Always supervise your child during water play.
