To make the Moving Monkeys you need an ice-cream stick, two rubber bands, a straw piece and two card sheet monkeys. Take a 2-cm long piece of plastic straw and attach to one end of the ice-cream stick with a rubber band. This is the front and back view. Cut a big rubber band and weave it through the straw. Tie big knots on the two ends of the rubber band. Now place the card Monkeys on the ice-cream stick as shown. The mother and son monkeys seem to be carrying a huge wooden log. Now hold the two ends of the rubber band and stretch it. The ice-cream stick will fall in a very intriguing manner in small jerks. This is a fascinating toy which you will keep you happy for a long time.
