Here is a craft idea from family fun .
Materials
- 3 egg carton cups
- Pencil
- Brown acrylic paint and paintbrush
- Scissors
- Brown felt
- Craft glue
- 6 small googly eyes
- 3 tiny black pom-poms
- One 12-inch brown pipe cleaner, cut into 3 equal pieces
- Acorn or other small nut
- Instructions
-
To make the squirrels: Use a pencil to
poke a tail hole in one side of each cup, then paint the cups. For each
squirrel, cut a face, ears, and a tail from brown felt. Once the paint
dries, glue the faces onto the cups, then glue the eyes, ears, and
pom-pom noses onto the faces, trying to make the squirrels look
identical for a better game. Fringe the edges of the felt tails and glue
a piece of pipe cleaner in the center of each, letting a 1/2-inch stem
extend beyond the bottom. Attach each tail by inserting the stem through
the hole and gluing it to the inside of the cup.
-
To play the game: With the other players
watching, place a nut on the table and cover it with one of the
squirrels. Now begin sliding the squirrels around the tabletop, weaving
them around each other to make the other players lose track of which
squirrel has the nut. The faster you move them, the more likely you are
to distract your audience. After a while, stop and challenge one person
to guess which squirrel hides the nut.
