Crackers
Another project that required a bit of time to collect the
required materials (this time toilet roll innards and the middle section of a
roll of wrapping paper). By Sunday we had enough to make four
crackers.
We filled the middle roll with a chocolate bear and a joke
(provided by Eilir and copied down on scraps of wrapping paper by me). We then
rolled this up together with two additional rolls either side in wrapping paper
(ends of roll and some recycled from last year), Eilir holding, me taping.
Using wrapping ribbon we secured the middle section, tying one end each on
every cracker. There was a pretty equal division of labour on this activity, we
even rolled them up together!
Eilir liked the smaller, neater crackers best
(the ones made from the wrapping paper roll, which was a narrower tube).
The same evening we were visiting some friends, so decided to take two with us
for pulling. The first pulled easily (Eilir winning), the second was more like
a tug-of-war with Eilir's friend eventually gaining the upper hand and Eilir
landing on his bum!
