FUN TO MAKE ON CHRISTMAS DAY ARE "Basketball
Soldiers," which can then be mounted on covered, corrugated
board to become part of •a game played with ping-pong 'balls'
Numbers on the board help in totaling up game points. Mate-
rials are gift wraps and ties, either leftovers or those removed
from packages.
Christmas --- what a fabu-
lous, fascinating, thoroughly
fantastic day for the children!
It's a day for eating the, tasti-
est goodies, opening the most
exciting surprises from Santa,
playing with the most won-
derful toys, dolls and games.
In fact, it's so exciting that
sometimes even the liveliest
youngsters want to rest.
This is the signal for Mom
and Dad to suggest a change
of pace, such as a slow-paced
game to play or something
that's fun to do or make.
"Basketball Soldiers" could
be the answer.
The soldiers can be made
from leftover ribbons and
wrappings in the house on
Christmas Day, or even from
gift• wraps and ties that the
kids have removed from their
own share of Santa's bounty,
Material not immediately at
hand can be added later, but
if there are corrugated board
and ping-pong balls' around,
the soldiers can be used at
once for an impromptu bas-
ketball game.
A diagram' accompanying
this article shows dimensions
to follow in cutting out the
soldiers.
