Step 1






  • The aim of this game is to take it in turns to balance the apples on the swing and whoever knocks them down first is the loser!

  • Start by sticking a cardboard tube to a piece of card with masking tape.

  • Insert modeling clay to weigh down the tube.

  • Cut a tree shape out of a piece of card and cut a couple of slits at the bottom so it can easily fix to your cardboard tube trunk.

  • Pad this out with newspaper fixed on with masking tape.

  • Stick some pieces of string to the trunk to give it a vine like look.


Step 2







  • Papier mache over the greenery part with kitchen towel and PVA glue.

  • To make the branch, simply push a pencil through the trunk and secure with masking tape.

  • To make the swing you need to cut a circular piece of card and make a hole in the middle.

  • Thread a piece of string through the hole and tie a knot at the bottom.

  • Weigh it down by sticking modeling clay to the bottom, then tie it to your pencil branch.

  • Decorate the whole thing with a lick of paint then you are ready to play!

  • Just make some apples out of soft modeling clay.
