Guest Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Ok I need some help please. I have a lovely young boy in my Reception class who adores making his own home made Christmas crackers - simply out of paper. He gets together with a friend and pulls hard pretending it goes bang and falls on the floor giggling! Each cracker is carefully constructed to include the 'bang' strip. I feel that there must be a next step for him but where/ which way ? (being mindful that my Head won't appreciate me teaching bomb blasting techniques)!! Any thoughts please.
finleysmaid Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 im thinking a paper banger might float his boat (you make it from folded paper then when snapped in front of you it bangs) this way he could pretend to make his crackers bang without gunpowder...i'll see if i can find the instructions online 2
Guest Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks Finleysmaid I had forgotten all about those bangers. Love the idea and if you can source a plan even better. He will be one happy boy tomorrow:)
Sue R Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Oh, good call, finleysmaid!! Those 'bangers' have proved useful in the past for me, in similar situations. So many outcomes from the making!!
