PENS DANCE | Urdu

To make these “Dancing Pens” you need two dried sketch pens and a rubber band. Tie the two pens with a rubber band. Double the rubber band so that it is quite tight. Now hold one pen and rotate the other several times so that there are several twists in between the rubber band. You can actually see these twists. Then place the assembly on a table and the pens will dance and jump very animatedly as if they were “alive”. You can also place them on the floor to the “pen dance”.
Instead of sketch pens you can take old ball pens or pencils and after tying with a rubber band place them on the floor to see a very animated dance or “pen fight”.
