This toy is a boon for children suffering from asthma.
You will need a good quality straw, pencil and cotton thread.
Cut the straw in half.
Make a hole in the centre of the half straw.
Then rotate the pencil at an angle to make a smooth rounded hole.
Take 75-cm long cotton thread.
Weave it through in the direction of the hole.
Tie a small knot and trim its ends.
Press to make the knot flat.
Now blow and you will be surprised to see the whole thread loop go round and round.
Try using wool instead of thread.
This toy is a lung exerciser.
