Make a train using an old match box. 
Take a long needle and weave a 2-metre long thread.
Poke the needle through the middle of the strike surface.
Remove needle from one side of the drawer.
Again poke the needle through the other end of the drawer.
And pull it out from the middle of the other strike surface.
Both the threads would be at an angle.
Tie a knot in the two ends.
Trim the extra tails.
Hold the threads in both hands between the little finger and the thumb.
Stick the picture of a rabbit on the match box.
Hold the thread taut. 
The two parallel threads will look like the railway track.
On moving one hand the rabbit will travel on the track.
