Pick-up sticks for little hands

24 February 2010

This idea was inspired by Ideas magazine. Use 6mm dowel (or thickness of your choice) and cut into 30 cm lengths. Sand down to a smooth finish and paint one black, seven red, seven blue, eight green and seven yellow. Finish with a few layers of clear non-toxic sealer. Score per stick by colour: 25 for black; 10 for red; 5 for blue; 2 for green and 1 for yellow.
