You have just seen this amazing matchbox toy in action! You will need 15 empty similar matchboxes and a tape. All you require are the empty shells of the matchboxes. Bring two matchbox shells together and join them with tape to make a hinge. Now bring a third shell and join it to the first two. Similarly join 15 matchbox shells together. This assembly can easily be bent into a circle. Now hold the end matchbox shells – one in each hand and move your hands up and down to make this beautiful clapping noise. This is a toy which costs nothing and the poorest child on earth can make.
