WALKING CYLINDER | Punjabi

For making the WALKING CYCLINDER you need a toilet roll cylinder, two card discs, two straws and two clips. Open the paper clips such that one end is raised. Make off-centre holes in the card discs and make the clips stand. Tape the clips on the backside. Apply glue on the two circles of the cylinder and stick the card discs. The discs should be slightly larger than the toilet roll. Also the paper pins should be diametrically opposite. 

Make “V” notches on two fat straws. Bend the notch to make a “foot” and then stick a card shoe on both straws. Make a through hole on the other end of the straws. Fix the two straw legs to the pins. Bend the pins so that the legs don’t come out. If you place the cylinder on a gentle incline it will roll with the legs moving – as if the cylinder was walking.
