DSC_0114Step One:

This is best done by the adult…Use the stick pin to get the holes started around the tube. This takes some time but with the holes already there it makes the tooth picks so much easier to place.

Step Two:

Either the child or the adult places the tooth picks through the holes made with the pin. Place the pom poms on top of the tooth picks.

After the first game, the tooth picks are easier to put in for another round. Let the kids make up their own rules and play again!
