stick + drill = threading game

By Kate on April 29, 2011

Aren’t sticks brilliant! I’m certainly getting carried away with them at the moment and have a big pile building up on my windowsill.

All you need to make this threading game is a drill, saw and some sandpaper….and a stick of course.

I took the cut the bark off mine because it was a bit yukky…

Free toys = Smiles all round…hurrah!

  Not sure how big you are planning for outside but keep in mind the hanging/strangling hazard it could create.

Awsome project! My hubby bought a manual wood drill a couple years ago, and this is going to be a great project to teach my school age (daycare) group how to use it! Yea!

Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one!

It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Great choice of colors!
