AdventurerKatziThis shake box is a popular free game material with chestnuts. Out of packaging material, an empty ice box, we make this skill game for chestnuts or nuts. The idea is also suitable for playing with marbles!
An empty ice box is ideal for children's hands. With both hands they can hold the box and can concentrate fully on the chestnut.
You need a large hole drill and a battery screwdriver.
Insert the branch hole drill into the cordless screwdriver and then it can start.
Turn the ice box around and drill a hole into the bottom. The hole doesn't have to sit in the middle!
Tip: Put an empty can or a piece of wood under the inverted ice box to have a back pressure while drilling.
Drill carefully and stop in time so that you don't get hurt. Let an adult help you.
Removes the drill-out circle and controls the drill-out. It is not allowed to hang off any lattices or splints, because someone could hurt themselves later on. Just carefully tear them off with their fingers.
Try some chestnuts to see if the bore is big enough for your chestnuts.
Now the shake game is ready.
For example, you can use a tissue band.
I used a green tissue tape here.
Glue the box all around with a strip of tape.
Then glue the underside of the box. Glue over the bore. Cut the adhesive tape with the scissors star-shaped on the hole and fold the points inside through the hole. So you can place the adhesive tape around the cutting edge.
This creates a small sun in the box.
Attaches further strips of adhesive tape. The bottom of the box can be completely glued. In doing so, you repeatedly cut the hole star-shaped and stick the incisions inwards. So you complete the sharp edge of the hole!
The shake box is ready.
Have fun doing crafts!
Alternative ideas! plays with:
- nuts,
- acorns,
- marbles,
- large pearls,
- a cube, or
- rounded stones...
If the children use different materials, then you learn how to roll, move, deal with different speeds and circumstances.
Stay creative and think of more opportunities to play!
Write us your ideas, too.
