If our calendar is correct, you've got a long way to go until back-to-school. Let us introduce you to Heather Swain. In her book Play These Games, the crafty mama shares activities you can MacGyver together with everyday items from your junk drawer.
Materials
Paper cup
Utility knife (for big hands only)
Scissors
Balloon
Rubber band
Mini marshmallows
1. Use the utility knife to cut the bottom out of the cup.
2. Without blowing up the balloon, tie a knot in the end, then snip off the top ½ inch.
3. Stretch the balloon over the bottom of the cup so that the knot is in the center of the hole, then secure it with a rubber band around the cup.
4. Load a marshmallow and fire away!
Play These Games is available at amazon.com, $11.
