Hold your child securely by the waist so she can bounce like an astronaut. Support her as she walks up the walls and across the ceiling. Find a tall, thick blade of grass. Blow a gentle, steady stream of air through the opening created by the two thumbs and a whistle will emerge. Wrapper from the ear Secretly flatten a straw wrapper so it is long and thin.
Zigzag fold it like an accordion, then close it into a little square.
Pretend to scratch an itch, wedge one end into the opening of your ear, then get your kid's attention. Pull the loose end outward in a quick motion, and give a gasp or grunt as the long wrapper emerges. If your nose is too big, your facial features are entertaining enough without the straws. The movement of mouth muscles to synthetically simulate a grin. Not exactly a Kodak moment.
