Here you can see two teachers merrily shooting the Twin-Bottles and having a ball of a time. To make this dynamic toy you need two strong conical bottles, thick nylon thread, cello tape and scissors. Cut both bottles about 10-cm from their mouths. Trim the edges to get two conical shapes. Put the big ends of these cones together and tape them to make a DOUBLE CONE. Take two nylon strings 3-meters long and weave them through the Double Cone. Now the bottles are ready to shoot. Two players on both ends hold the ends of the strings in their hands. As the left player pulls her hands apart the right one pulls her hands together. This makes the bottles shoot to the right. Both players alternately bring their hands close and pull them apart. This AMAZING DYNAMIC toy made with two throwaway bottles and some string can provide hours of fun to the poorest children.
