Ingredients: 2 Tin Cans Hammer & Nail String [Kite String or Fishing Line = optimal] Have your helper rescue two cans from the recycling bin. Puncture the end of the cans by driving the nail through the bottom of the can with a hammer. Grab some string from the kite you flew last week. Determine the desired length & cut.
