Rocket Ride
An EASY activity perfect for snow days and guaranteed to get many-a-giggle**!
What you need:
~ A balloon
~ A paperclip
~ An index card or other scrap of sturdy-ish paper
~ Some stickers or drawing supplies + your imagination
What to do:
~ Grab your index card and either slap your favorite character sticker or invent a new adventure ready character and draw her/him on there.
~ Take your paperclip and pierce it through the index card. Then feed the index card around until it’s at the skinny, far away end of the paperclip.
~ Next fetch that trusty balloon and pierce the character laden paperclip through the blowing up end of the balloon.
~ Inflate the balloon, have a crazy countdown and release!!!
Enjoy the giggles as your characters zooms around the room!
**note: guarantee ONLY valid for WhyNotters with a solid sense of whimsy and an appreciation of the little, silly things in life!
Wanna get Wackier? WhyNot!
~ Have races! Who’s character can go the furthest? Who’s can stay off the ground the longest?
~ What happens if instead of putting the character on a paperclip you stuff him/her inside?
